About Sean Kessler
I\'ve built my career where physical and financial commodities meet, specializing in metals markets, derivatives trading, and helping businesses manage risk.I lead trading across steel and base metals derivatives, including HRC, steel scrap, copper, aluminum, iron ore, and gold. My work spans speculative trading and the development of tailored hedging programs, including cash-and-carry structures and customized risk solutions for a diverse range of market participants.My professional background includes both buy-side and sell-side roles. At CME Group, I helped drive record growth in ferrous and non-ferrous metals by enhancing product offerings and building relationships with commercial hedgers, merchant traders, hedge funds, and asset managers.As a Chartered Market Technician (CMT), I bring strong technical and fundamental analysis skills to my work, along with deep knowledge of market structure, price behavior, and strategic execution.
