physical commodity trading in Miami
Which commodity trading majors (glencore/cargill/trafigura/etc..) have the largest/most prestigious desks in the Miami area?
I am aware Stemcor has sizeable operations servicing latin america, and know that Bunge has a small desk that takes most of its orders from geneva...
I have a family member interested in getting into the physical commodity business in the Miami area and I could use connections to land him an internship but would like to know which desks are moving large volumes and making their own decisions as opposed to just being regional agents receiving orders ferom GVA/Stamford...
Cheers
how many of those shops even have offices in miami?
none are really in the same boat you mention. all my cargill guys are in hopkins, glencore in conn and traf in houston
A lot of the firms with significant activities in latin america will have spanish-speaking offices in miami (particularly the soft-comm focused ones...)
can you make me a list?
the ones that i have interacted with:
bunge sucden stemcor edf man cargill
what do you do again?
what are full names of these firms?
I just joined a physical trading firm as a trainee. Am supposed to spend the next two years rotating between traffic, the coal desk, one of the aggricultural desks and in the business development dpt (basically researching new markets to see wether they are worth entering).
As far as the full names of the firms go, those are the full names!
Sucden and ED&F Man are big sugar players, Bunge is Cargill's main competitor and Stemcor is a large steel trader.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?
I am a power trader for the biggest power trading firm in the world. Formerly of a few bb's as well
Could you please PM a list of the firms, their full names, and their office locations (if available)? Maybe there's more energy trading in MIA than I (or monty09) originally thought. Thanks!
Please also include in your PM the name, email, and phone of all the individuals at the firm with hiring authority and their favorite tv shows, foods, and sexual orientation. Thanks in advance
ado is correct. At least my firm has a small office in miami which supplies Ags to places in the Caribbean and South America. These offices typically tend to be small from what i understand.
Getting in at the regional level will take a lot of luck and networking. I would apply at the base offices first....
interesting
