Global Commodity Market Analysis
Global Commodity Market Analysis
This is the simplest of the three market analyses and is ideal for students who need extra help locating relevant market data. Students must describe a global commodity market and define its current equilibrium price and quantity. Students must then identify six factors that they think will likely affect either supply or demand over the next five to fifteen years, weight each factor, assess the joint impacts, and then predict the future direction of change in the market equilibrium. This text guides students to create a highly polished written report of about 4,500 words with 15 prescribed visual aids and a 10-minute summary video presentation.
Students should have basic knowledge of microeconomic principles (e.g., supply, demand, equilibria) and at least two semesters of basic college writing.
