By the end of the month students will be nearing the end of their exams and they can relax and enjoy the annual ICMA Centre BBQ. Then we have the Centre's 20th Anniversary Drinks Reception to look forward to in June and graduation in July.

Curved Momentum: A new trading strategy for commodity futures
26 January 2018
Momentum trading is a popular strategy in the commodity futures markets. The idea is simple. Suppose that an investor wants to invest in the first nearby contract of several commodity markets, e.g. crude oil, live cattle and gold. At the end of each month, the trader ranks these assets according to their past return performance, observed over a measurement period of 12 months for example, from the top performing asset to the bottom performing asset. The investor opens a long position in the first nearby of the markets that performed well and a short position in the first nearby of the markets that underperformed. These positions are held throughout the next month. This strategy has performed historically well historically and has attracted the interest of investors.
