What do You think about the booming increase in volumes of derivatives trading (credit derivatives, commodity derivatives, stock derivatives) over last 10 years?
Volume of debt derivs market being more than 7 times the world GDP and more than 3 times the volume of the world debt market is a strange figure; commodity spreads are starting to behave quite different from how they behaved 10 years ago (I think that appearence of large speculating funds plays its role here) - what does all such facts really mean to economics and to us ?
Is it only an actuarial and risk management increase, or this boom is gonna finally bring some problems to us guys?
