Book excerpt: Spot and Future Trading in Commodity Derivatives Market, explores the dynamics and behavior of selected commodities in the context of both spot and future trading. Commodity derivatives markets play a crucial role in modern economies, providing essential instruments for managing price volatility and hedging risks related to various commodities. This research delves into the complexities of spot trading, where commodities are bought and sold for immediate delivery, as well as future trading, which involves contracts for the future delivery of commodities at predetermined prices. By focusing on specific commodities, the study aims to offer valuable insights into their supply and demand dynamics, pricing patterns, and how market participants use derivative instruments to manage their exposures. Through a combination of data analysis, market observations, and financial models, the study seeks to highlight the relationships between spot and future prices, as well as the impact of various market factors on both segments. Additionally, the research may investigate the role of speculation and the behavior of traders in influencing price movements in these commodity markets. The findings of this are expected to contribute to a better understanding of commodity derivatives markets, their functioning, and their implications for traders, producers, and consumers alike. Furthermore, the research may provide practical implications and recommendations for market participants seeking to make informed decisions related to commodity trading, risk management, and investment strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nation wide trading in commodities futures in India was introduced for many agricultural commodities and later trading in futures was banned for few commodities due to pressure on spot prices of these commodities. The paper studies the impact of futures trading in three important commodities which were banned by the government from trading in futures and their impact on spot prices. The study uses simple linear regressions, correlations, Granger Causality tests to find the answer. The study also tries to find if the seasonal/cyclical fluctuations in these commodities prices have been affected by the introduction of futures in those commodities. Hodrick-Prescott filter is used to differentiate the general trend and seasonal/cyclical fluctuations in prices. The study finds that in India future trading in the selected commodities had apparently led to increase in prices of commodities like urad. It also increased the volatilities in the spot market.

Download or read book Commodity Derivatives Trading written by Madhoo Pavaskar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the long and chequered history of commodity derivatives trading in this country, extending for more than century and a half, neither the lay nor the learned, including, surprisingly, most economists and even those involved in regulation of commodity derivatives exchanges, betray lack of knowledge on the theory, working, utility, and regulation of trading in commodity derivatives of diverse hues. It is against this background, the present book is aimed at teaching the commodity derivatives exchanges, their participants, the regulator s, and the students of commodity derivatives economics and managements, both the theory and regulation of commodity derivatives trading in all its aspects. For, a commodity economy like India must aim to develop strong global commodity derivatives markets in the country to promote swift growth in agriculture, industry, and international trade by strengthening competition and competitive efficiency to improve productivity, as also proficiency in marketing in all sectors of the economy. This book is a modest step towards achieving that aim and objective.

Download or read book Commodity Derivatives written by Paul E. Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commodity Derivatives: A Guide for Future Practitioners describes the origins and uses of these important markets. Commodities are often used as inputs in the production of other products, and commodity prices are notoriously volatile. Derivatives include forwards, futures, options, and swaps; all are types of contracts that allow buyers and sellers to establish the price at one time and exchange the commodity at another. These contracts can be used to establish a price now for a purchase or sale that will occur later, or establish a price later for a purchase or sale now. This book provides detailed examples for using derivatives to manage prices by hedging, using futures, options, and swaps. It also presents strategies for using derivatives to speculate on price levels, relationships, volatility, and the passage of time. Finally, because the relationship between a commodity price and a derivative price is not constant, this book examines the impact of basis behaviour on hedging results, and shows how the basis can be bought and sold like a commodity. The material in this book is based on the author’s 30-year career in commodity derivatives, and is essential reading for students planning careers as commodity merchandisers, traders, and related industry positions. Not only does it provide them with the necessary theoretical background, it also covers the practical applications that employers expect new hires to understand. Examples are coordinated across chapters using consistent prices and formats, and industry terminology is used so students can become familiar with standard terms and concepts. This book is organized into 18 chapters, corresponding to approximately one chapter per week for courses on the semester system.
