Trafigura Group paid US$3 billion to its top traders and executives as the commodity trading giant notched up a fresh record profit in the six months to March.

Trafigura reported net profit of US$5.5 billion in the six months to March, up 108% from the same period a year earlier and the third successive half year in which it has reported record earnings.
