Navigate the Uncertainties of the Commodities Markets with the Essential CRB Commodity Yearbook

DUBLIN, IrelandResearch and Markets Ltd.--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e33b81/crb_commodity_year)
has announced the addition of the "CRB Commodity Yearbook" report to
their offering.

   This title is published annually.

   Since 1939, professional traders, commercial hedgers, portfolio
managers, and speculators around the world have come to rely on The
CRB Commodity Yearbook to help then navigate the uncertainties of the
commodities markets. The single most comprehensive source of commodity
and futures market information available, the Yearbook is the book of
record of the Commodity Research Bureau, which is, in turn, the
organization of record for the commodity industry itself.

   Its sources--reports from governments, private industries, and
trade and industrial associations--are authoritative, and its
historical scope is second to none. Breadth and depth of information
make the Yearbook indispensable for identifying changing trends in
supply and demand and for projecting important price movements. The
2008 edition provides crucial information on more than 100 domestic
and international commodities--from aluminum to gold to zinc--and
includes seasonal patterns and historical data from the past ten years
as well as current (as of the last three months) pricing and trading
patterns on a monthly and annual basis. The information is formatted
to make researching a particular commodity as convenient as possible.

   Each commodity is introduced by a brief article that describes its
salient features, pricing trends in recent years, and factors - be
they droughts, wars, diseases, or politics - that have influenced
prices in the past, and may do so in the future. The data itself is
presented in over 900 tables, graphs and price charts that are clear
and easy to read. As an added bonus to this year's edition, a
companion CD-ROM has been included to provide readers with valuable
commodity information in an easy-to-use electronic format. Also
featured are the major articles on key markets and important issues by
prominent professionals in the commodity industry that have been
commissioned exclusively for the Yearbook.

   For its wealth of information and the authority of its sources,
The CRB Commodity Yearbook 2008 stands alone as the guide to
intelligent trading in commodities and futures. Absolutely essential
for identifying changing trends in supply and demand and for
projecting important price movements, the Yearbook gives the investor:
Worldwide supply/demand and production/consumption data for all the
basic commodities and futures markets-from Aluminum to Zinc, including
all the major markets in interest rates, currencies, energy, grains
and stock index futures; Over 900 tables, graphs and price charts of
historical data, many of which show price history dating back to 1900;
Fact filled CD-ROM: As an added bonus to this year's edition, a
companion CD-ROM has been included to provide readers with valuable
commodity information in an easy-to-use electronic format. Concise
