His book provides a rich history and detailed analysis of financial fraudulence, commonly known as manipulation, from a regulatory policy perspective, and the ways that case law has evolved and characterized this fraud. Markham then properly addresses the new theories that have been developed since the passage of Dodd-Frank in 2010 and places them in the context of the rich enforcement traditions of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and others. The book is a must read for financial services lawyers and regulators as well as academics.\" -- Ronald Filler, New York Law School

Commodity derivatives : a guide for future practitioners
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 behavior on hedging results, and shows how the basis can be bought and sold like any other price. 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, but it also covers the practical applications that employers expect new hires to understand. Examples are coordinated across chapters using consistent prices and formats, and uses industry terminology 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 semesters\"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMODITY EXCHANGES IN ROMANIA AND POLAND: A SURVEY OF CLIENTS' PERCEPTION AND SATISFACTION
This paper aims to highlight the importance of international commodity exchanges and to provide information on their rise in recent years. Since ancient times, commodity exchanges have played a significant role in market economies. These exchanges' goals are to act as a market outlet, keep an eye on supply and demand, and, most importantly, have an impact on how real pricing levels for various commodities are established. This empirical research is based on a survey with a sample of 137 clients, which uses a questionnaire to analyse their perception on the trading platforms run by the two licensed operators (the Romanian Commodity Exchange and the Polish Commodity Exchange), as well as their satisfaction regarding the collaboration with ring managers. The results indicate that a more positive attitude of clients towards trading fungible and non-fungible products will further strengthen their purchasing intentions.

The world for sale : money, power and the traders who barter the Earth's resources
The modern world is built on commodities - from the oil that fuels our cars to the metals that power our smartphones. We rarely stop to consider where they come from. But we should. In 'The World for Sale', two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the economy: the workings of the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard and sell the earth's resources. It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade, and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres.
