Commods are a cool area (I’m biased of course). Very macro focused (supply demand, exchange rates). Personally less interested in O/G than other areas, but it certainly isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Definitely make sure you’re aware of the difference between financial trading/ hedging and physical trading, 2 completely different jobs. Not sure what JPM touches.
