您会从事商品交易吗?

With all this drama about the commodity crisis and the future projections of shortages, I'm getting more interested in learning more than just the basics of commodity trading rather than M&A orER。Feels like the minimal amount we learn in business school and internships doesn't give a good picture of the opportunities in this field. For some weird reason, it seems much more exciting to trade oil, metals and all that rather than just pieces of paper to be fair

So anyone has a good take on the future of this industry?

Commodity trading be great given you are at the right place. Heard that specifically in Geneva at bunge and cargill things are quite great, high pay & smart ppl.

Good rule of thumb, this stuff comes in cycles. When things seem like they have a bright future and everyone is hiring then you should be scared as a new grad. Similarly just a few years ago nobody was hiring and it was all doom and gloom. That all said if you are interested in it why the heck wouldn't you pursue it

不可能预测长期的地平线上。In 2019, everyone thought that volatility was dead because of US production response. In 2020, everyone thought that peak oil demand was in the past, and oil majors as well as institutionalinvestors embraced ESG。In 2021, people thought that a new super cycle was in store for energy because US and OPEC were slow to respond. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine (also something no one saw coming) and ESG has dropped off the radar. Who knows what's next? I would certainly not put much stock in decade long assessments.

I agree with what others have said. You have to pick something because it genuinely interests you. Having said that, I always enjoyed commodities because of how tangible it is and the fact that commodities are what drives the world. Commodities are what feed us, provide energy that has allowed modern society to become what it is, and provide materials to allow us to build all of the infrastructure we have. If prostitutes are the world's oldest profession then grain traders are second. An interesting book just came out and you might enjoy it if you want to read more about the impact that commodities have on geopolitics, world history, empires, etc.

Exactly. I'd put copper in there with grains in terms of oldest professions.

重点是,有时候市场会像现在和几年前一样吮吸的时代像现在一样高,但这是一个绝对令人着迷的职业,很可能总是以某种形式或另一种形式存在。

这里有很多好主意,但是仍然需要提及一件大事。如果你在寻找at a front officerole in commodities and focusing on the actual commodity instead of companies involved in the space, its moremacroeconomics than finance。埃克森美孚为石油赚钱是否相对非物质,重要的是,他们在明年,五年等中期望生产多少,等等。对于矿工,电力生产商等也可以说。

如果您更喜欢经济学班而不是金融课,那么它可能适合您。
