Description

The Chicago Mercantile is a global arena where the financial world congregates, competes and communicates. This annual report focuses on four distinct areas of business: AG commodities, global currencies, interest rates and stock indices. By breaking the business up graphically through the use of charts and a symbolic image in each section, this very complicated financial structure becomes easy to understand. The cover, which is blind embossed on the outside and printed on the inside, wraps completely around the book.
