Energy traders are digitalizing themselves so that they can reduce their risk in this fluctuating market and increase profit.
FREMONT, CA: In recent years, the energy market has changed a lot due to various events. An augmentation in the supply and demand of gas (and LNG), drive to decrease carbon emission, significant fluctuation in the price, and geopolitical changes have all played their part in changing the industry. Presently, the Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the market severely across the globe, which made it difficult for few companies even to continue their business.
However, there are also the latest technologies that are helping energy companies to address the latest challenges. For instance, the entry of LNG in the new market has changed the dynamics in which it used to trade as they moved from the index-linked to oil prices to a commodity. The increasing demands of renewable powers also create irregularity because these powers rely on the climate condition. Therefore, the instability of supply is generating a challenging situation for the traders.
