Liu is due to start his new role at Glencore Asia soon and will cover oil and natural gas derivatives, according to two of the sources.
Liu has traded fuel oil derivatives at Goldman Sachs for the past several years, said one of the sources.

Goldman Sachs declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. A Glencore spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
