Berlin, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2021 -- While the European energy crisis has caused a lot of issues for suppliers and consumers there are some who have found a way to profit from the challenging situation. In particular, hedge funds that ventured into natural gas and German electricity have done incredibly well - one shooting up by 40%. Shortage fears have been behind the significant increase in gas prices in recent months - some funds that were able to make sizable moves in European electricity have seen profits soar. Others have benefitted from changing dynamics in other markets, in particular those that are not as popular. Iron ore and lumber markets, for example, saw a spike in the first half of the year - impacted by increased demand as economies came out of lockdown and the bottlenecks caused by supply and demand problems - and then fell significantly after that. Many funds have been able to profit from both the rises and the falls.
