Commodities Global Summit
Thank you to everyone who attended and contibuted to the 2026 event
A sincere thank you to all the industry leaders, experts, and delegates who joined us at the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne. Your participation made the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026 an unparalleled forum for navigating the complexities of a fragmented world.
Discussions highlighted the significant "volatility shock" across the sector caused by the Middle East conflict, with Citadel’s commodities head noting that markets have underestimated the long-term supply chain disruptions caused by current geopolitical escalations. Top industry executives from Gunvor, Trafigura, and Vitol emphasised a shift toward "resource sovereignty," where traders are now stress-testing for further extreme scenarios as the industry adapts to a redrawing of global trade routes.

Key Themes & Discussions
A New World Order
How is war in the Middle East, sanctions, and geopolitical rivalry 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?
Changing Energy Supply Relationships
How will the deepening energy ties between China and Russia reshape global markets, pricing and supply?
