Risk.Net Commodities

News, analysis, research and events on energy and commodity derivatives, risk management trends and the impact of new trading regulations.

The Risk.net commodities desk publishes news and analysis for participants in the energy and commodity derivatives markets. Its target audience includes personnel on bank commodity desks; traders at large commodity merchants, integrated oil and gas majors and utilities; and risk managers at energy companies across the spectrum of oil, refined products, natural gas and power. Its coverage of derivatives encompasses any futures, options, swaps, over-the-countere instruments or bespoke structured products that are tied to physical commodity prices, as well as environmental products such as carbon emissions credits. A key focus of the desk is regulation, particularly the impact of post-crisis financial regulation such as Dodd-Frank, Emir and Mifid II on the trading of energy and commodity derivatives.
