About this item
by Samuel Basi (Author)
Physical commodity trading is one of the least understood - and poorly explained - parts of global markets.
This definitive guide walks the reader through the full lifecycle of physical commodity trading, including:
- Why commodity traders exist and the role they play between producers and consumers
- How physical supply chains work - from mine, well, or farm to end user
- The difference between physical trading and futures or paper markets
- How commodities are prices, contracted, and delivered
- Hedging, mark-to-market, and exposure management
- Logistics, shipping, storage, and operational risk
- Trade finance, title documents, and cash-flow constraints
- Counterparty risk, defaults, and periods of market stress
- Where real profits are made, and where costly mistakes occur
Alongside structured explanations, this book includes personal stories from the trading floor, illustrating:
- How decisions are made under pressure
- Where mistakes are most commonly made, and why
- How small operational errors can lead to large financial losses
- The human side of trading that rarely makes it into textbooks
If you want to understand physical commodity trading, not just the prices on a screen but the flows, risks, and decisions behind them, this book was written for you.
