Commodities Global Summit

Less than 1 month to go!

In-person tickets are now on final release. Secure yours before they sell out.

As tensions in the Gulf continue to shape oil prices and global trade flows, the implications for energy, supply chains, and pricing are becoming ever more complex, and more immediate.

Join us at the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026 in Lausanne for high-level interviews with commodity trading CEOs and panels exploring the redrawing of global trade flows.

In an era of economic volatility, these conversations matter more than ever. 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.

Hosted at the prestigious Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel, this is the premier event for building connections with global commodity leaders, traders and financiers.

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?
