Commodities for Dummies

June 28th, 2013, 8:51 am

I'm looking for an easy-to-read (prefereably internet based & free / cheap) introduction to risk managing commodities. I'm after a guide to how things like seasonality impact volatility & correlation calculations. Any good suggestions?Thanks

This may be worth to have a look at Commodity Options by C.Garner and P.Brittain???In their book, the authors argue that the behaviour of commodities prices and volatility is specific, and so is hedging, risk-management, and option management/strategies of this asset class.
