Commodity Research Group Information

Commodity Research Group (CRG), founded by veteran analyst Edward Meir, is an independent research consultancy specializing in base and precious metals, as well energy products. The Group provides research and general price analysis for these markets, along with advice to companies seeking to construct hedging strategies. Commodities are an essential component of the global economic fabric, and so there will always be a need for people to either use, trade, hedge or speculate in them. "I have been in the commodities business both as trader and an analyst for more than 30 years, as have my colleagues," says Meir. "During this time, we have seen lots of cycles come and go, not to mention profound changes that have uprooted the industry. When I first started in the business, (hidden behind a chunky terminal and mounds of paper), commodity research consisted of analyzing basic supply and demand data".
