BERUBE CAPITAL LLC turns raw commodity data into decisions you can act on. Our engine captures 19 markets every three hours, joins them to two years of price history, 16 global growing regions of crop-weather, and a 56-market supply and demand matrix — then writes the read automatically. Metals, energy, agriculture and critical minerals. Every number sourced, timestamped and labelled.
No opinions dressed as analysis. Every conclusion on this site is derived from these layers, automatically, every three hours.
19 instruments — precious metals in real time, energy, agriculture and critical minerals. Every three hours, round the clock.
Joined to two years of daily closes: moving averages, annualised realised volatility, range position and cross-market spreads.
Physical reality: soil moisture, rainfall and crop water demand across 16 growing regions, plus structural supply across 11 producing regions.
The desk writes the read — dispersion, volatility regime, supply constraint and the risk flag — published to the site automatically.
One discipline, applied across every commodity class — proprietary data captured every three hours, joined to structural supply and demand and real crop-weather conditions.

BERUBE CAPITAL was founded by Reuben Njihia, CPA(K) — an accountant by training, a technologist by instinct, and a systematic commodity trader by practice.
Reuben builds algorithmic trading systems at the intersection of finance and technology, developing the firm's systematic gold (XAUUSD) mean-reversion strategies. A CPA(K) and CFA program candidate with a Bachelor's in Political Science & Sociology from the University of Nairobi, he leads BERUBE CAPITAL LLC full-time from Nairobi.
Reuben has cited Marc Rich — the Belgian-American commodities trader who started in the Philipp Brothers mailroom, pioneered the oil spot market in the 1970s, and built the firm that became Glencore — as an early inspiration for becoming a commodities trader. Rich's career carried a lesson still built into the firm's design: commodities do not require owning the physical asset; they require the nerve to see value where incumbents see only contracts, the discipline to keep losses small and exits clean, and the humility to do business regardless of pride. "Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick," Rich wrote. "Don't lose faith." That stance — contrarian, disciplined, and faith-preserving through drawdowns — runs through the SAS CANOLA REVERSAL strategy and the firm's risk framework.
Whether you produce, consume or invest in commodities, our desk can build a solution around your flows.
