Research

The primary objective of Graz Stork Metals’s Research department is to support the company’s trading and investment decisions through the analysis of supply and demand fundamentals and associated economics across value chains.

Supply projections are informed by production economics and the detailed study of investment projects.

In order to support demand projections, our researchers develop consumption models for various downstream markets in view of relevant macro and micro economic data points.

Regional trade flow balance sheets help to identify arbitrage and basis trading opportunities in specific geographies. In combination, these analytical approaches are used to formulate the outlook for the forward curves of prices of raw materials and refined metals, as well as associated derivatives.

• Research Analyst
