In this edition of The Briefing, we speak with Kevin O’Reilly, a trading sales and banking executive with more than 25 years of experience across global commodity and capital markets. Beginning as a silver options trader, he quickly learned the realities of fast-moving markets and the importance of cutting through noise to find credible signals. With leadership roles at industry heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Global Risk Management, Kevin brings a rare combination of front-line trading expertise and strategic, enterprise-level insight.

Kevin also reflects on how elite traders handle setbacks—staying calm, reassessing positions, and adjusting without emotion. While AI continues to reshape market analysis, he maintains that human instincts like reading sentiment and responding creatively remain indispensable.
