THE DEVELOPING

Dynamics of Commodities Tradings

OIL / PETROLEUM

Trading

Traders & the supply chain

Traders act as conduits between producers and consumers in both primary and secondary commodity markets.

IDENTIFYING & ACTING

Arbitrage

Arbitrage is the process of identifying and acting on market inefficiencies.

These are reflected in price differentials between untransformed and transformed commodities.

Where there is market mispricing – where differentials are larger than justified by fundamentals – savvy well-positioned traders act on these price signals to direct commodities to where they are most valued.

This is a key role they play in optimizing global trade flows.

How Traders Typically Add Value

What Makes G&B Not The Typical Trader

XPO has key contacts and relationships around the world with refineries and other suppliers, as well as “end-burners” in various industries, aviation in particular, allowing us to efficiently and effectively execute transactions.

Our goal is that both suppliers and purchasers come out of every deal happy with the procedures and outcomes, insuring long-term relationships with our partners.

Our expert logistics teams provides us with constant access to vessels and tank storage at all major ports, and have years of experience executing vessel to vessel injection and vessel take-over contracts.

Connecting The Physical & Financial

Trading generally is a high‐volume, low‐margin business, but we do not see it as such.

It has been common belief that firms needed to operate flexibly at scale, but we have put the right team together to run a more lean and bottom line oriented trading business.

At times this industry requires the mobilisation of resources in order to finance working capital and manage price risk, and we set ourselves apart by having strategies in place to offset the risks.

Hedging has been a fundamental element of commodity trading.

Trading firms attempt to systematically eliminate pricing exposure by using futures contracts.

By doing this they feel they are left with more manageable “risk basis” reflecting differences between specific transaction price and hedging instruments.

We monitor the oil futures markets, however hedging activity and investing in futures markets is kept to a minimum. Our business model focuses on efficient execution of transactions and does not include holding any commodity for more 72-hours, not including transportation time.
