They both work for Bloomberg News, where Blas is chief energy correspondent and Farchy is a senior reporter covering natural resources. Previously, they covered commodities for the Financial Times.

And they've reported on oil, food and war from countries as diverse as Kazakhstan, Ivory Coast, and Libya. The pair frequently appear on TV and radio as experts on commodities.
