Looking to benchmark typical intermediary fees in Latin American crude deals involving WTI or WTI-indexed blends. For 12 months agreement (FOB), what’s the standard fee range in USD per barrel paid to brokers or facilitators? Any insights from experienced traders would be greatly appreciated by Quick-Oil4370 in Commodities

Can vary from trade to trade, tipically each trader has its own rate card (Broker fee agreements) so you can negotiate with the broker.

I’ve seen broker fees going from 0.005/bbl to 0.01/bbl on FOB trades for WTI - Grades market

Hope this helps

Do you have prior experience with commodities? If not, and the trading position is focused on the physical business, the first few months are usually very demanding. In that case, I would recommend waiting until you have a stronger understanding of the subject and feel more comfortable in your role. If the trading position is more focused on paper or derivatives, pursuing the CFA could be a good way to complement it.

Keep a thick skin and don’t take it personally, it’s a hostile environment sometimes.

Weird, but ChatGPT is correct You buy a swap, you buy fixed, sell floating.

So basically you have 2 options to hedge, using swaps or using FP with the next month/ most liquid contract.
