Goldman Sachs has to be the winner of Euromoney’s first-ever award for best commodities house. Only Morgan Stanley’s business comes close in terms of the breadth and depth of the firm’s experience and Barclays Capital, a relative newcomer, is certainly one to watch.

Goldman Sachs entered the commodities business in 1981 when it purchased J Aron and Company, a commodities business founded in 1892.
