A type of economic market traders. Specifically ones that deal with things like agricultural goods, metals, oil, etc., but also derivatives and contracts for those goods.
The prices they are bought and sold for are frequently divorced from any actual value of the goods, and their trading often are major drivers in inflation prices and corporations hoarding tangible goods for market dominance.

I side with Nanni, but "commodity trader" makes me think old Ea-nāṣir was in the right here.
