DV Group is expanding its nascent commodities-trading business, with plans to hire as many as 15 traders by the end of the year, particularly in the increasingly volatile softs business.
The Chicago-based proprietary trading firm — one of the biggest market makers across the oil industry — will add staff for base and precious metals as well as agriculture and soft commodities. The firm previously specialized in crude, refined products, natural gas and related markets across the US, Europe and Asia.
