5 I would like to dedicate this book to all my family and friends around the world and I would like to give a special thanks to all the people who during my long career have provided me with the opportunities to develop and offered me the guidance and mentoring to support that development. I now hope that through my publications I can succeed in passing on my collected experience and help to support others in their development and career growth.
6 Preface Increased competition for natural resources is one of the inevitable consequences of globalization. Previously, this has manifested itself mainly in terms of energy security, though in recent years a succession of poor harvests among key producers has even brought volatility and higher underlying prices to global food markets as well. The problems inherent in tight supply markets have on occasion been exaggerated further by government actions intended to protect their own national resource security. What is different about resource competition in the twenty-first century is its global nature and the speed with which it is intensifying. Price volatility has become the new normal situation across energy and other commodity markets. This volatility presents challenges for the markets and opportunities for investors and traders. These opportunities and challenges encouraged me as a commodity market professional to author this book to help investors explore the world of commodity market investment and trading.
