This series takes the reader into the heart of the traded markets that drive the global economy by describing real-life trades or strategies that were carried out by named market participants.
The commodity markets – energy, agriculture and metals – and the financial markets – fixed income, foreign exchange and equities – are all in scope for this ambitious series.
The world of financial and commodity traders is not usually open to outsiders. Few non-specialists appreciate how traders approach the markets, what their backgrounds are, and how they make money. Routledge Classic Market Trades bring the traded markets to vivid life. The trades and strategies described cover different geographies and different eras, providing an unparalleled insight into how traders work and think.
The first work covers global crude oil, which is the world’s most important commodity market.
The chapters detail how individual traders responded to specific challenges and opportunities in their markets, providing plenty of inspiration for current or prospective traders or analysts.
Routledge Classic Market Trades will also be valuable for academic researchers, business school case studies, and for anyone wanting to learn more about the individuals and the trading strategies that shape the global markets.
