More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book focuses on the latest developments in the Asia-Pacific community in terms of how deregulation and privatization are bringing more risk to energy companies. In the light of these market changes, interest in energy risk management has grown substantially and is becoming a fiduciary responsibility of energy companies. As energy trading, power exchanges and hedging techniques establish themselves in the oil, power and gas sectors, so then do newer derivatives markets emerge in LNG hedging, weather derivatives and freight hedging. Fusaro and James, as seasoned market practitioners in the region, focus on these market changes and examine the future of Asian energy hedging.

Useful insight to Asia's energy markets
31 Dec 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book gives a good insight in to the developments of the regional asian energy markets, with some interesting forward looking commentary on potential developments. Whilst at the same time the book covers what is happening now and practical realities and issues facing energy hedging using derivatives in Asia. The glossary of terms is something I also refer back to time and time again during my work in the energy trading arena. A good book overall, worth keeping in the library of any serious energy trading or investment company.
