Is energy “quantable”

As we know, quants usually are the group of people who profit in equities markets 


but will commodities/energy be affected by quants in the same way?


I understand there is the physical side to the space, but i am referring to the “derivative” traders that do commodities. Or do you think that one day the commodities market will be just like equities?

It has already happened.. limiting factor is liquidity for more niché derivatives 

 

Thank you, where do you see the role of traders who trade derivatives instead of the physical product going? Do you think it would disappear?
