He discusses commodity index funds, which bundle agricultural and non-agricultural commodity contracts into an investment instrument whose unregulated “weight of money” has driven agricultural prices, since agricultural contracts are the often smallest component of the funds. Dark market trading of index funds, accelerated by High Frequency Trading strategies, has made prices more volatile and price risk management tools less effective, particularly for developing country importers.
