On the dynamics of hydrocarbon commodity derivatives market

Dramatic changes on the international financial market, connected with the worldwide financial (and economic) crisis, originated enormous number of recipes for its negative circumstances overcoming and formation of “extremely new” conditions and rules for performing of financial activities, which can make “prices manipulation” absolutely impossible. In particular, and this is especially important for Russia, great attention is devoted to the problem of pricing on the oil and natural gaz markets, because stability and predictability for the hydrocarbons prices are one of the main conditions for the world economics development.The arguments presented in the paper demonstrate the necessity not for the prices regulation, which is evidently ineffective, but the necessity of the rules for the whole process of the price negotiation and evaluation, the necessity of development of corresponding information environment, which can provide “fair prices” on the hydrocarbons market.
