Selected BRICS countries in global commodity markets

Present bachelor's thesis has the aim to analyze particular countries of the BRICS group with regard to their position on the international commodity markets. The countries are the Federative republic of Brazil and Russian federation. For a brief introduction into the problem I shortly describe the origin and functioning of the commodity market and its derivates at the beginning of my work. As next I focus on characterising the BRICS group as a whole, each member's economic situation and the structure of their commodity exchange with the world. In the fundamental parts of thesis I concentrate on commodity facilities of both countries, countrie's specifications, current issues and existing trade between the Czech republic and both states. The issue of reciprocal trade and it's perspectives is further developed in the last chapter
