The CRB Commodity Yearbook 1999

This guide provides information to analysts, traders, and portfolio managers, on 105 domestic and international commodities, from orange juice and arsenic to gold. These commodities consist of agricultural products, minerals and other tangible assets that investors trade on a cash or futures basis. Each is traded on its own, as well as on general exchanges, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Prices are set by a combination of factors including weather, supply and demand, and historical trading patterns. BRIDGE Information Systems, the United State's largest resource for financial statistics, trends, and charting techniques, supplies seasonal patterns and historical data from the past ten years, as well as pricing and trading patterns on a monthly and annual basis.
