ABN Amro last month made a curious choice of words to announce the arrival of some new staff in its commodity derivatives division.
The firm had, we were told, hired a ?leading energy market trading team?.
Wow! Could this be a team poaching to rival Barclays Capital?s famous but unsuccessful attempt to lure 40 fixed-income bankers from CSFB back in 2001? Sadly not.
It turns out that ABN Amro had in fact managed to snatch two people away from BNP Paribas.
Thanks for your interest in Euromoney!
