We talked to Morgan Stanley's commodities chief about her outlook for hiring, automation, and how plastics is a new hot business

Business Insider sat down with the business's chief, Nancy King, at Morgan Stanley's Time Square headquarters.

Nancy King has been running Morgan Stanley's commodities business in one form or another for the past four years. During that time, the investment bank slashed the size of the business and led many long time employees to the door. Without further ado, here's the Q&A of the meeting. The remarks have been edited for grammar and clarity, but not content.We're optimistic. It's generally been a good start. We've seen some volatility but not hyper volatility. We've also seen increased opportunities with clients. Nothing hugely outsized but just general flows on the corporate side. I'd say hedge funds have actually been a little bit muted this year.

Commodities is not the most dynamic part of the trading floor these days. Do you find it difficult to recruit into the business?
