What Percentage of Derivatives are Commodities

Submitted by glassman on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 22:33

Interesting conversation with someone about derivatives. Talked about the purpose of derivatives but mostly for commodities and he asked what percentage of derivatives are commodities. I don't know. Anyone know where I can find that percentage?

Thanks

Jim Rogers might know, he's a commodity bull. He's always talking about commodities lately, and how farmers will be driving lamborghinis in the next decade.
