What happens when a key shipping route is blocked, energy prices spike, or political tensions disrupt global supply chains?
Commodity trading sits at the centre of these questions. From energy and metals to transport and logistics, this is a field shaped by geopolitics, markets, infrastructure, and real-time decision-making. When the Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal in 2021, or when current geopolitical conflict affect tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, commodity traders are among the ones working on these frontlines of global disruptions.
