Financialization of Commodity Markets

Chapter Chapter Four in The Financialization of Commodity Markets, 2015, pp 101-157 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The process that led the world economy to the global financial crisis, as well as its explosion, was accompanied by an unprecedented increase of prices in the commodity markets. The boom in the years 2002–2008 was exceptional on many levels: in terms of its length, the scale of the increases, and in the scope of markets and instruments that it concerned. The commodity boom raised food problems in many developing countries (TDR 2008; Food & Water Watch 2009; Gayi 2012), and later, the sharp drop in prices was a key channel that transmitted the economic downturn from the developed countries to the developing countries (TDR 2009).
