Abstract

In der letzten Dekade kam es bei Rohstoffen zu heftigen Preisschwankungen. Gleichzeitig nahm der Anteil von Finanzinvestoren an Rohstoffterminbörsen erheblich zu. Im Zuge ist eine Diskussion entbrannt, ob Finanzspekulation Rohstoffpreise von ihren fundamentalen Bestimmungsgrößen entfernt. Wissenschaftliche Studien kommen diesbezüglich jedoch zu keinem eindeutigen Ergebnis. Die Politik hat trotzdem bereits Maßnahmen zur stärkeren Regulierung von Rohstoffterminbörsen eingeleitet. Dieser Roundup gibt einen Überblick über die bisherigen Entwicklungen und den aktuellen Forschungsstand.
