Squarepoint's bold move into physical commodities

Brilliant article by Archie Hunter, Wing Yan Julian Luk and Nishant Kumar on how "Squarepoint, a quantitative investment firm, has emerged as a fast-growing trader of real-world commodities, competing with established players like Glencore Plc and Trafigura Group... The firm is hiring rapidly in metals and is already one of the biggest cobalt traders and a major player in aluminum, with an offshoot firm, STG Ltd., pushing into areas like buying ore from mines... Squarepoint's push into metals means it is going further into the nuts and bolts of physical trading, which could disrupt the way business is done in the industry and force traditional commodity traders to equip themselves technologically to compete." #commoditytrading #commoditymarkets #metaltrading https://lnkd.in/eAU3iaDM
