About

Commodities (Base Metals) and Derivatives trading specialist. I have a professional and academic background in Finance and Sales. I have been mostly focused on Aluminium, Copper and Carbon Emission trading over the past 5 years. I have a vast understanding of hedging strategies and OTC/Futures trading. Although my main focus is on Alumnium, I have become increasingly interested in the Carbon Market over the past 3 years. I am also interested in physical trading, sales and behavioral economics.
