Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c80795) has announced the addition of "Energy Markets: Price Risk Management and Trading" to their offering.
The "Energy Markets: Price Risk Management and Trading" report is the practitioners' guide to trading the markets and optimizing company performance using the correct price risk strategies and tools. As a company exposed to the price increases/decreases and the high volatility in energy prices experienced since the turn of the new century, this book will help you put in place the management controls and reporting structures necessary to ensure that your hedging programme achieves its goals and does not add unexpected or unwanted risks to your firm. As a direct trader in these markets or as an investor in hedge funds in the energy sector it will give you an insight to the global energy markets and their operation. Inspired by the success of the courses Professor Tom James runs in global energy and commodities trading and price risk management, the book includes a wealth of practical knowledge applied to the market place.
