Crude, Gasoline or NGL's?

I work for a large oil company with a massive commercial business. I do financial PnL analysis for a commodity trade desk but have been given an opportunity to pursue other interests. My manager was nice enough to reach out to the manager of the Market Analysis/Strategy group to see if they needed any help from me, she suggested that I would be able to help them out with some ad hoc projects if necessary. So, I had a meeting with the manager of that group and he asked me which commodity would I be interested in covering.....I was stumped completely. I told him I'll do whatever that requires the most out of me, he said he'll talk to his Crude analysts to see if they need any help.

Should I try to make a push for Gasoline or even NGL markets? We have arguably one of the largest NGL desk in the world so that would be cool too.

I would want to jump into something that is more complex and harder to learn....do you guys have any suggestions?

 

Curious to know why NGLs seems to be the oil product of choice among this small sample of answers? Is it just out of this list of three choices, because OP's firm is large in the space, random coincidence in preferences or is there a more fundamental reason behind this? I.e. what is more exciting about NGLs than crude, distillates,gasoline,aromatics, petchems etc. when it comes to trading?

 

lots of $$$ being invested in NGLs infrastructure over the next couple of years by players in the space == fundamentals will change rapidly as this infrastructure comes online so nice place to be to add value as a market analyst. i group aromatic and petchems under NGLs as well.

imo, crude/gas/distillates is a bit oversaturated with people because these were the hot products before and NGLs isnt sexy yet. more upside in NGLs than the others if you want to move up quickly and become valuable
