Commodity Trading in Houston

United States

Houston is the energy capital of the world, home to the headquarters of major oil companies, oilfield services firms, and petrochemical producers. The city's proximity to the Gulf Coast refining complex and NYMEX-linked pricing makes it the epicenter of US oil, natural gas, and petrochemical trading. The Houston Ship Channel handles more foreign tonnage than any other US port.
