Commodity Trading: Dissertation Ideas

Hi Everyone,

I will commence my Undergraduate Dissertation in September 2020 and I am now collating possible topics.

I was thinking some topics such as: Market forces behind Coal to Gas Switching

Any ideas?

Can you start by narrowing down your interests (historical/geographical/product, etc.) and background (is your degree specifically for commodity trading? why did you pick the course? what career are you going into)? I'm sure many would be happy to provide input, but this seems like far too broad a question with not enough thought from your end, considering it's your dissertation.
