You will produce fundamental research, market commentary, and price outlook reports that inform trading and risk decisions across the desk. This role is suited to someone who enjoys following markets closely, synthesizing news and data into clear views, and communicating those views effectively to traders and stakeholders.

Maintain and update price trackers, fundamental datasets, and market dashboards across all covered asset classes.
Build relationships with data providers, industry contacts, and market participants to strengthen research quality.
Conduct historical and seasonal analysis to identify recurring patterns in price behaviour.
