commodities trader
Buys and sells
A commodities trader buys and sells raw materials—oil, gold, wheat, coffee, natural gas—either for immediate delivery or as futures contracts.
Some work for trading firms or banks, others trade independently.
The work involves predicting price movements based on weather, geopolitics, and supply chains: Commodities traders made fortunes when oil prices spiked.
