Deutsche Bank’s head of natural resources for Asia has left the bank, according to a person familiar with the matter. His departure comes at a time when commodities woes and a sharp drop in the price of oil have dampened dealflow in the sector in 2015.

Yash Kaman was most recently a managing director in the German bank's Hong Kong office, having joined in 2010 from JP Morgan, where he had worked for more than 10 years.
