Short Bio / Excerpt:
David Peng is an accomplished financial services professional specializing in commodities trading, non-ferrous metals sales, and prime brokerage solutions. Based in the London area, he serves as a Senior Associate in London Metal Exchange (LME) Sales at Clear Street, a rapidly expanding, cloud-native financial infrastructure firm. Known for his technical understanding of metal market dynamics and derivative structures, Peng acts as a vital bridge between institutional investors and active floor execution, contributing directly to Clear Street’s multi-asset expansion across European markets.
Peng established his theoretical foundation in macroeconomics and financial systems through an elite academic path in the United Kingdom. He attended the Queen Mary University of London, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Economics with First-Class Honours. Seeking to merge traditional economic principles with modern technological applications, he subsequently earned his Master’s degree in Banking and Digital Finance with Distinction from University College London (UCL). This specialized postgraduate background equipped him with the analytical tools necessary to navigate complex multi-asset clearing and algorithmic trading environments.
Before entering the intense commodities market, Peng sharpened his commercial acumen through targeted analytical programs at major global banking institutions. He completed an intensive summer analyst program at Amplify Trading, gaining real-time exposure to market infrastructure and institutional trading flow. He later secured a highly competitive industrial internship at Wells Fargo in Greater London, where he optimized his understanding of asset management, corporate client coverage, and systemic risk frameworks.
Peng formalized his expertise in base metals by entering the specialized world of open-outcry and telephone brokerage on the London Metal Exchange. He joined Amalgamated Metal Trading Ltd (AMT), a premier LME ring-dealing member, where he spent nearly four years focusing on industrial metals sales and execution. During this tenure, Peng mastered the intricacies of hedging strategies, physical arbitrage, and regulatory frameworks governing global base metal supply chains, establishing a strong professional reputation among regional institutional players.
In June 2025, Peng pivoted his deep LME expertise to Clear Street, joining the firm shortly after it secured its regulatory status as a Category 1 ring-dealing member of the LME. Operating from their London hub, Peng is central to managing the day-to-day transaction flows, client relations, and broker clearing structures for sophisticated funds trading base metals. His dual mastery of digital banking frameworks and traditional ring-dealing mechanics aligns seamlessly with Clear Street's mission to modernize clearing and execution pipelines across the global digital finance space.
