Full disclaimer.About the course
As the Chinese, Indian and emerging economies continue to develop, commodities markets saw spectacular gains and fund managers sought to monetise this performance by investing directly or indirectly in this asset class. However the capital expenditure, shale oil, over supply in many commodities has caused a dramatic reversal of the commodity ‘bull’ market with the supply/demand factors failing to respond. Exchanges have made commodities easier to trade whilst investment houses have created products to replicate the underlying commodities’ movements. The fundamentals of commodities are changing: volatility has increased so investors need strategies to optimise returns - whether hedging or investing directly. This course covers all aspects of the commodity classes, commodity investment and the principal price drivers in both the physical and on the exchanges, producer, manufacturer and user supply/demand characteristics and pricing.
