    The global commodities sector is entering a period of profound change. Today’s markets are shaped less by traditional fundamentals and more by geopolitical shifts and technological innovation.

    Join the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026 for high-level interviews with commodity trading CEOs and panels exploring the redrawing of global trade flows. Hosted at the prestigious Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel, this is the premier event for building connections with global business partners and commodity leaders.

    In an era of economic volatility, staying connected with industry titans is essential to navigating:

    • Shifts in Global Alliances: How tariffs, sanctions, and de-dollarisation are impacting energy, metals, and agriculture markets.
    • Critical Minerals Security: Strategies for diversifying supply chains away from single-country reliance.
    • AI in Commodity Trading: How algorithmic trading and AI are reshaping market liquidity and risk management.
    • Supply Chain Resilience: Leveraging innovation to manage unpredictable shocks and maintain a competitive edge.

    Key Themes & Discussions

    A New World Order

    How are shifting alliances, sanctions, and geopolitical bifurcation fundamentally redrawing the global commodity map?

    The Energy Transition vs. Security

    As nations pursue both clean energy and defense goals, how is the competition for "dual-use" minerals forcing a recalibration of national priorities and supply chain strategies? 

    Market Volatility, Finance, and Technology

    How are AI-driven analytics, hedge fund dominance, and new financing models reshaping risk and liquidity in commodity markets?

    The Scramble for Supply

    With supply chains fragmenting, how are traders and nations adapting to secure the flow of critical resources, from investing in mines to navigating shipping chokepoints?

    The Shifting Risks to Food Trade

    How is the rise of "food nationalism" and the breakdown of traditional hedging models creating new risks to global food security?

    sEE FULL AGENDA

    Changing Energy Ties

    How is the deepening energy relationship between China and Russia challenging the US-led order and disrupting global gas markets, investment, and finance?
