Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricate history and evolution of modern oil trading, tracing its roots from the 1970s to the present day. It highlights the transformation of the oil market from a tightly controlled oligopoly dominated by major oil companies to a dynamic and resilient global commodity market. The narrative emphasises the human dimension of trading, showcasing the visionary individuals and key events that shaped the industry. It explores the socio-economic impacts of oil trading, the emergence of new trading hubs, and the role of geopolitical and financial crises in driving market adaptability. The chapter also examines the ethical considerations and regulatory challenges faced by traders, underscoring the importance of markets in fostering economic growth and global connectivity. Through detailed accounts of significant players and trading strategies, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the oil market's development, its complexities, and its profound influence on the global economy.
