In the paper an attempt is made to analyse the impact of the involvement of financial investors on primary commodity prices in the international market. This phenomenon has been identified as a relatively new yet important attribute of the contemporary world economy. The activity of financial investors has affected the raw materials markets in a way that makes them resemble financial markets. As a consequence, the global financial crisis has been reflected not only in price drops for financial assets (shares, real estate) but also in a slump in the prices of raw materials and food in the international market.
