Commodities Electronic Trading (CMET) provides trade workflow for commodity trader in both block future and bi-lateral swap trading. We cover all commodity segments including oil, power, gas, metals and ags. We serve corporate clients that need to hedge their commodity consumption by entering bi-lateral trades with banks. We also serve the broader commodity trading community by enabling a block future workflow where trades end up in a clearing house (e.g., CME, ICE). In addition to our strong ties within Global Markets, our engineering team is closely aligned with the core commodity product, sales and engineering teams to help deliver an integrated solution from price discovery through to trade workflow.
