In this episode we explore the evolution of data analytics and technology in oil markets, which gained considerable traction in the last 5 years.

We are joined by co-Founder and CEO of Vortexa Fabio Kuhn

In this episode we explore commodity exchanges, counterparty risk and financialisaton of oil products post Dodd-Frank.

We are joined by the Head of Oil Market Research for the Intercontinental Exchange, Michael Wittner, as we discuss  the evolution of the oil derivatives market with the introduction of cleared trading and how this has reduced counterparty risk. Already this has led to much greater access to trading oil derivatives, however we also look at how this may open up even further with the ever growing interest from retail money into financial markets.

In this episode we explore the role of physical oil traders and how they supply crude and products around the globe, as well as their influence on the derivatives market.

We are joined by Co-Founder and CEO of Sparta Commodities, Felipe Elink Schuurman, as he shares his extensive experience and unique insights into the world of physical oil trading.

In our first episode we are joined by the Managing Partner of Audentia Capital, Chris Newman, to discuss Commodity Trade Finance and the Evolving Role of Investment Banks. Within this we explore the need for commodity trade financing in physical oil trading and how the previously dominant position of the banks has been eroded by the rise of cleared exchanges, increasing transparency and implementation of stricter regulations.

We continue our mini-series this week with Head of Commercial Rich Rawlinson introducing Andreja our Head of HR, who talks about her trajectory and her experience in HR at Onyx.

Onyx CEO Greg Newman and Head of Commercial Rich Rawlinson talk about Oil Hedging. Offering insight into why some companies are daunted by hedging, why hedging doesn’t have to be complicated, how to effectively mimic your physical exposure, choosing the right contract and why some companies that think they are hedging but are actually speculating. 

As we start a new year, Onyx CEO Greg Newman, reviews 2019 and 6 of the major events which drove the oil price. In a year of multiple unplanned supply outages and fears over global growth due to the US China trade war, 2019 was not short of uncertainty and volatility.
