About

Marjorie Nadal

Marjorie Nadal

Twenty-five years building and running institutional commodities trading operations: Société Générale, Lehman Brothers through the 2008 collapse, Crédit Agricole CIB as Global Head of Commodities Structured Products, BBVA as Global Head of Metals and Softs Trading.

Precious metals options market-maker across multiple market cycles. I built trading desks from scratch at three institutions and designed the portfolio optimisation franchise at Eni Trading and Shipping, where I served as board advisor to the CEO.

Advisory relationships have included the World Gold Council and the World Platinum Investment Council, where I contributed to the institutional framework at inception.

I trade my own book and publish what used to stay inside institutions. Each edition takes one thesis — a structural shift in markets, a geopolitical realignment, a capital flow that hasn't yet acquired a consensus name — and builds it to its conclusion. Sourced data. Original charts. A stated position.

The analytical track record is published openly.

Advisory

A small number of mandates.
Depth of engagement, not volume.

The same analytical rigour published in Chaos & Order, applied directly to your specific allocation questions. Independent of sell-side consensus and the conflicts of interest embedded in institutional research.

01
Original analysis, not aggregated consensus
Every brief built from primary sources and original frameworks. Nothing recycled from sell-side research or media narratives.
02
A public track record
Forty-nine corroborated theses, average 159 days ahead of consensus. Every call timestamped, every corroboration named. No black box.
03
Selective by design
A limited number of mandates at any time. Depth of engagement, not volume of clients.
