You could be right, but many Swiss companies are named "____ Re."

The "Re" stands for "Re-insurance."

You make a good point, and I am aware of several companies in the reinsurance business whose names are shortened in that manner. But this company was identified in the article as "the largest commodity trader in Switzerland". Are reinsurance companies typically in the business of trading commodities (like oil)?
