The price variations and seasonal trends in commodity markets in the early 2000s

The main objective of this study is without doubt to provide a comprehensive analysis of the price variations as well as the seasonal trends in the contemporary global commodity markets. Economists have for many years that such price variations not to mention the impact of seasonal trends in commodity markets have actually been consistent features or occurrences within the contemporary global economic system. These price variations and the connected seasonal trends in commodity markets are actually to a large extent measurable, and are indeed frequently measured by economists, commodity or industrial producers, relevant businesses, and perhaps even governments. The international stock markets are also interested in the price variations within commodity markets.

Globalisation in effect means that the price variations and seasonal trends in relation to the commodity markets depending on whether or not such trends are positive or negative in economic terms can have profound consequences for various actors within the global economic system.
