The global commodity trading market continues to be in a state of flux, driven by a confluence of geopolitical tensions, supply-chain disruptions, and the urgent need for energy transition. Metal markets remain volatile as China grapples with its economic recovery. Oil and gas markets are marked by tight supply and price swings. The drive for decarbonization is pushing renewables into the spotlight, but traditional grid stability remains a challenge. As emission caps become stricter, demand for carbon credits increases, creating both opportunities and risks for traders. The agricultural commodity space continues to grapple with weather extremes, rising input costs, and geopolitical disruptions to grain exports. How will commodity traders continue to find opportunities in this dynamic and highly interconnected space?

Now in its 14th year, the FT Commodities Global Summit continues to be the pre-eminent gathering of senior commodity executives, traders, and financiers. They will share their insights on the key issues facing the industry across three days, in conversation with leading FT journalists.
