Customer Reviews

A useful addition to the trading library
I read this book a while back whilst still getting to grips with how I would develop as a trader. Being able to understand how the complex world of commodities, derivatives, interest rates, energies and politics (to name but a few) are linked is very useful. Admittedly some of the correlations do not always hold true, but it did prove useful in getting to grips with the basics of the global economies and relationships. I would recommend to anyone that doesn't know what would/should happen to bond prices if interest rates go down!
