"Commodities and commodity derivatives are one of the foundations stones of today's financial markets. The derivatives market is estimated to be worth more than $1.2 quadrillion, with the trade in derivatives dwarfing the trade in the actual underlying physical commodities. Using structures unique to the individual market, each chapter includes an explanation of the commodity and an analysis of its physical market, discussion on the typical patterns of demand and supply and the main factors that will influence the price of the commodity and the main products. Each chapter focuses on how the products could be used along the physical supply chain and seeks to identify the main market risks and how they can be hedged. This expanded edition includes coverage of: theories of price formation, OIS valuation, spread options, options smiles and skews, gold, steel and iron-ore, project finance, crude logistics, refined crude products, US electricity market, dry freight, climate change, price drivers of emissions trading, EU ETS, agricultural markets, ethanol, ETFs, index structures and more"-- Provided by publisher.

Original book introduction: In The World for Sale, two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the world 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.

This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. What does it mean to personalise cancer medicine? Drawing on an ethnographic study with cancer patients, carers and practitioners in the UK, this book traces their efforts to access and interpret novel genomic tests, information and treatments as they craft personal and collective futures. Exploring multiple experiences of new diagnostic tests, research programmes and trials, advocacy and experimental therapies, the authors chart the different kinds of care and work involved in efforts to personalise cancer medicine, as well as the ways in which benefits and opportunities are unevenly realised and distributed.Comparing these experiences with policy and professional accounts of the 'big' future of personalised healthcare, the authors show how hope and care are multi-faceted, contingent and, at times, frustrated in the everyday complexities of living and working with cancer.This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

"La libéralisation des marchés de l'énergie, l'émergence du marché du pétrole, le développement accéléré des pays émergents, l'ouverture de nombreux marchés dérivés et le développement des opérations financières adossées à des matières premières ont bouleversé le monde du négoce tel qu'il existait au milieu des années 1970. Ces transformations ont accéléré la croissance de Cargill, d'ADM, de Bunge et de Louis Dreyfus. Elles ont rendu possible l'émergence de nouveaux négociants. Vitol, Glencore, Trafigura, Mercuria, Gunvor en sont les exemples emblématiques. Elles ont donné naissance aux filiales de négoce des grandes entreprises du secteur de l'énergie : EDF Trading, Shell Trading, BP Trading, Total Trading & Shipping. De tous les facteurs qui ont fait évoluer le négoce des matières premières, la finance est celui qui a eu le plus d'impact."

Depuis la crise de 2008, les acteurs des marchés cherchent à accroître l’efficacité de leur protection contre les risques spécifiques nés des opérations financières auxquels ils s’exposent quotidiennement. Parallèlement, le législateur doit assurer l’objectif de stabilité financière. La couverture, instrument singulier, fruit de l’imagination des praticiens, s’inscrit depuis quelques années au confluent de ces deux finalités distinctes. Cette double utilisation opacifie cette notion et soulève de nombreuses interrogations. Initialement conçue comme un simple dépôt de garantie complété par des versements de marge en fonction de l’évolution de la valeur des opérations en cours, la couverture a depuis lors fortement évolué. Ses usages se sont multipliés, et ses contours sont devenus incertains, au point d’apparaître comme une notion éclatée. Répondant à diverses appellations, tantôt obligatoire, tantôt facultative, utilisée sur les marchés réglementés comme de gré à gré, la couverture prend désormais des formes si variées que l’on peine à en saisir l’essence. Le recours accru à cet instrument et l’ampleur des enjeux financiers imposent pourtant d’en clarifier le régime en levant les insécurités juridiques qu’il comporte. À travers l’étude de l’ensemble des manifestations de la couverture sur les marchés financiers, la présente thèse tend à mettre en lumière la nature juridique de cette garantie, afin d’apporter un éclairage sur les conditions de sa mise en œuvre

This book investigates how urban/rural patterns provide differing conditions for living and working. The project is to read and analyse these urban/rural settlement structures and provide insight into the patterns of living and working that have formed them and possible development of a smart networked metropole that integrate the urban and rural socio-economic and physical infrastructures for the future of disused European waterways.
