Perhaps it's because the Jewish race has a facility, earned over history, of being successful traders and business people...

You may not be fully aware of the fact that the so-called "facility" you note was not exactly voluntarily acquired. Jews were fobidden throughout Europe in the Middle Ages from owning property or conducting business in common trades. Shylock is a stereotype conjured by Shakespeare of the Jew who was trapped into the occupation of "trader-lender" by centuries of discrimination.
