Contents: Sometimes referred to as the 2nd oldest profession, metals trading is a business which is truly global in scope. It is also a major economic and strategic force, and has many rules, conventions, practices and jargon expressions which can seem puzzling to those not familiar with them. The publishers of Metal Bulletin, the journal which is known as the "bible" of the international metal trade, are ideally placed to explain these mysteries. Indeed for more than 40 years now, through the earlier editoin of this book and through its predecessor "In A Metal Merchant's Office", they have been providing this service to those with a need to know, both inside and outside of the metal trade. Trading in metals occurs whenever a miner sells ore, a smelter sells metal or a consumer buys a sheet of aluminium or a brass tube. It has a lot in common with other branches of international commerce and economics. But the metal business well merits a text book of its own because of the greater than average value of each transaction and the greater than average volatility of its markets.
"Trading in Metals" offers a step-by-step guide to trade practice providing the new entrant with the means to achieve a reasonable degree of professionalism by a study of the book. Of course there is no substitute for the traditional training system - listening to aand watching the moves of a trained trader. But experts are busy men.
"Trading in Metals" also provides handsomely for the countless individuals who, although not actually engaged in commerce in metals, need to keep closely in touch with the metals trade. Therefore school and university career counsellors at one extreme through interests as diverse as security investment analysts and Customs departments to bank and Government officials, will find a wealth of instruction and reference information within the pages of this book.
