Physical Commodity Trading
Spot and term contracts for refined petroleum products and selected industrial commodities. Structured on standard Incoterms with bank-grade payment instruments and independent quality inspection at load and discharge.
Midas FZE is an independent trading house built around a single conviction — that disciplined sourcing, transparent execution, and accountable logistics produce lasting commercial value.
A trading house designed for operators who value discretion, execution, and continuity of counterparty.
Midas FZE is a United Arab Emirates company registered in the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone. The firm operates in international commodity markets with a deliberate focus on energy products and industrial raw materials, arranging purchase, sale, storage and onward logistics for a selective base of producers, refiners, and institutional off-takers.
We are not brokers. Every transaction Midas participates in is underwritten by documented title, vetted counterparties, and a clear chain of custody — because the only trade worth doing is the one that closes cleanly twice: on paper, and at the terminal gate.
Our work is organised around the operational problems our counterparties actually face — price exposure, logistics risk, working-capital strain, and documentation integrity.

End-to-end coordination of vessel, rail and road movements, terminal throughput, and cargo insurance. Our desk manages demurrage exposure and routing decisions on behalf of clients who prefer to stay focused on their core operations.
We work with tier-one banks and specialist lenders to structure transaction-level financing — letters of credit, receivables discounting, and pre-payment facilities — matched to the cash-flow profile of each deal.
Confidential guidance for producers entering export markets and buyers sourcing from unfamiliar jurisdictions — covering KYC, sanctions screening, contract negotiation, and operational due diligence on terminals and counterparties.
Every mandate moves through four structured phases. Each one ends with a written decision point — so nobody is surprised, and nothing is assumed.
Mutual KYC, indicative volumes, target specifications, acceptable payment terms. Typically closes inside five working days.
A term sheet is drafted covering product, Incoterm, pricing formula, financing route and inspection regime. Legal review runs in parallel.
Contract signature, financial instruments opened, nomination issued, vessel or rail scheduled. Our operations desk handles the day-to-day.
Documentary presentation, final pricing, payment release and post-trade reporting — including demurrage and quality reconciliation.
Our counterparty network spans four operating corridors, each supported by vetted terminal relationships and on-the-ground advisory capacity. We grow where we can service a client personally — not where a logo would look impressive.
The difference with Midas is operational seriousness. Contracts are drafted with care, nominations arrive on time, and when something does move in the market, we hear about it before it becomes a problem.
Every message is read by a member of our trading desk, not a mailbox. We respond inside one business day — and if our mandate is not the right fit for yours, we will say so plainly.
