About Axis
Axis is building an AI Native Trading System, allowing a trader to deploy models that monitor and analyze relevant markets and strategies. We've chosen commodities as our first market. Commodities make up a third of global goods exports, and physical commodities traders decide the movement and storage of metals, agricultural products, and energy across the globe. They trade in public markets and bilateral OTC agreements. Engaging in these markets is complexing, covering derivatives positioning, refinery data, storage inventory, import/exports, geopolitical events and more. Axis is building an AI driven analytical layer for these markets.
