Top 4, covering energy, metals (precious + base), softs and emissions as a whole in my own opinion:GoldmanMorgan StanleyBarclaysJP MorganThe best place to find rankings are in somewhere like Risk magazine or possibly also Euromoney. Unfortunately Risk don't give out free trials to hotmail addresses, but you can probably find back issues in a good university library

dj99b - I tend to agree with that list.This sort of discussion can get a bit generalist - ultimately 'commodities' is a wide area and different banks are strong in different areas e.g. Morgan Stanley and Goldman are strong in the physical business, Barclays are strong on the asset / investor side, JPM have a very good energy business and from a structured prodcuts point of view I would add Deutsche to the list. Lehman seem to be making a major push into commodities too. Braveyellowj if you are looking for info on a particular house please feel free to PM me.
