Commodity Trading: Switching from Crude Trading to LNG - potentially other fossil-based Commodities

Hello,

I am about to start a job in physical commodity trading for a NOC in London. Most likely I will be either on the crude or the products desk. My question would be if 5-7 years down the line, if would be possible to switch to trading LNG, or pipeline gas? Or even possibly going into metals trading? How often to we see such transition in the trading industry?

Thanks!
