The ebbs and flows of sugar trading
If you have been subscribed to our mailing list for a long time, you must all know by now that I’m a big fan of Jonathan Kingsman book “Commodity Conversation”.
The other day Mr. Kingsman posted a very interesting article on his personal blog ( I encourage all of you to subscribe to his mailing list ! ).
So I reached him and kindly ask if he would let me repost it !

Conversation with a trade finance officer

Damien / 04 February 2020 / Commodity trading - Conversation - Trade finance - Trading companies

As the first conversation received a ton of good feedback ( thanks again for your emails and comments 🙂 ), here is a new interview with my good friend and also teacher Florian. Yeah… you’ve read it right, he is my friend AND banker 😉
As you may know, I’m not a big fan of the banks…! BUT once in a while, I have to put my nice suit on ( preferably grey or navy blue) and meet with them to negotiate financing terms. It’s easy, without financing, commodity trading would not be possible.
NO MONEY => NO DEAL
