Producers suffered heavily as prices fell in response to new supply facilities going into production, juxtaposed against disappointing demand evolution from China in particular, marking the end of the most powerful and enduring commodity boom since the Second World War. This book is a guide to the primary commodity universe, an increasingly crucial part of the world economy. In this updated edition, Marian Radetzki and Linda Wa?rell introduce and explain pertinent issues surrounding international commodity markets, including the importance of fossil markets among commodities, price formation, price trends, the shift in primary commodity consumption towards Asia, the increasing reliance on commodity exchanges, new relaxed attitude towards depletion, cartel action, and the revival of nationalism and state ownership. This is an accessible read for graduates, academic researchers, and professionals in the mineral and energy sectors. 606 $aPrimary commodities 606 $aPrimary commodities$xPrices 606 $aCommercial policy 615 0$aPrimary commodities. 615 0$aPrimary commodities$xPrices. 615 0$aCommercial policy. 676 $a338/.02 700 $aRadetzki$b Marian$0232909 702 $aWa?rell$b Linda 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159459203321 996 $aA handbook of primary commodities in the global economy$92584275 997 $aUNINA
