William Buchanan has come to the London office as a senior oil trader from Standard Bank. He will be joined by Alexandre Benech and Raphael Juston, both transferring from the equity and derivatives division to the commodity derivatives team. Benech will become trading co-ordinator and Juston will focus on commodity structured products and investments.

Meanwhile, in Singapore, Christophe Gros, formerly head of Total Trading's Singapore office, has joined as a manager on the energy trading desk, and John McArthur has moved from Deutsche Bank Singapore as a senior trader.
