With the advancing globalization, the raw material markets are gaining increasing importance. Aluminum, which is used worldwide in sectors ranging from transportation to mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, is one of the most important industrial metals in the raw material markets. Its significance is growing year by year, not least due to the resource hunger of emerging countries, particularly China. How is the market developing? When is a suitable time to replenish raw material stocks? These and similar questions are to be answered with the help of the concepts and tools presented in this book. This book is aimed particularly at (business) informatics and economics students who have a keen interest in multi-agent-based simulations of financial markets.
