The Base Metals Trading team in London plays a key role in Macquarie’s global commodities platform. The desk is active across both financial and physical base metals markets, trading a broad range of instruments including options, futures, and related contracts. We operate in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment, applying fundamental, quantitative, and technical analysis to identify and support trading opportunities. The team is focused on delivering strong risk adjusted returns while continuing to grow Macquarie’s presence in global base metals markets.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

As a Base Metals Trading Associate, you will support trading activity across financial and physical markets, contributing to the execution of opportunities in options, futures, and OTC products. You will work closely with senior traders to analyse market fundamentals, price trends, and volatility, while assisting in trade execution and monitoring positions, risk, and P&L throughout the trade lifecycle.

You will also play a key role in the build-out of the physical metals business, helping bridge physical and derivatives trading through developing insight into supply chains, market flows, and client activity. The role offers hands-on exposure to live trading, client engagement, and business development, with increasing responsibility as the platform grows.
