The World's Futures & Options Markets

By Nicholas Bately and Nick Battley

Futures and options, extensively traded by speculators at all levels, are an instrument of risk management for institutional investors and purchasers of commodities, whereby they are able to purchase, or have the option to purchase equities or commodities at a previously agreed price and at a given date in the future. This results in investors and industries that are heavily reliant on particular commodities, being able to limit the risk of price fluctuations. This comprehensive directory provides a definitive listing of all major world exchanges, with a profile of the key personnel. Backed by the EFFAS European Bond Commission, the book includes details of over 900 contracts issues, and should prove an invaluable reference source to anybody wishing to trade in futures and options.
