Analysis
Our global team of analysts brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise from a diverse range of backgrounds, from economists and mathematicians to geologists, metallurgists, chemists and engineers.
Teams are structured around commodity specialisms and the roles range from Research Analyst to Research Manager. It is hard to describe a typical day for an analyst as each day brings a new intellectual challenge: collecting data, analysing supply and demand, forecasting short and long-term trends, setting commodity prices, developing new relationships with industry contacts, contributing to published reports, presenting at conferences and seminars, responding to customer queries and engaging with the market on a daily basis. Due to CRU’s commitment to primary research, our analysts also have opportunities to carry out field visits to mines, smelters, refineries, mills and processing plants all over the world.
CRU’s analysts are independent thinkers and good communicators, with a high level of intellectual curiosity and a strong focus on customer engagement. A keen interest in commodity markets and an understanding of their dynamics and world economics are also required to successfully contribute to CRU analysis services.
