Energy Hedging in Asia Market Structure and Trading Opportunities [Paperback]

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.Megatrends of Asia Pacific Energy Markets The ABCs of Energy Hedging Role of Exchanges and OTC Trading Energy Derivatives - Management Policy Hedging with Derivatives Options in Hedging Applications LNG Hedging Energy Risk Management in Japan Developments in Southeast and South Asia Electronic Trading -The Race is On ISDA 2002 The Master Agreement 10 Years On Derivative Hedge Accounting Green Trading in Asia What's on the Horizon for Asian Energy Markets ERM Glossary Appendix 1: ISDA Academic Report - 2004 Appendix 2: ISDA 2002 Master Agreement - Chinese VersionPETER FUSARO is Chairman and Founder of Global Change Associates, an energy and environmental consulting firm based in New York City.
