    The commodity trading sector is undergoing significant transformation. Increased regulatory scrutiny, spurred by recent scandals, is pushing for greater transparency and fraud prevention. Digitalisation and blockchain technology are emerging as key tools to streamline operations and enhance security. While the energy transition is underway, traditional energy sources remain relevant, influencing investment strategies. Companies are also consolidating and diversifying to navigate market volatility, with a heightened focus on robust risk management practices to prevent future losses.  Ultimately, the sector's future hinges on its ability to adapt to regulatory changes, embrace technology, and manage risks in an increasingly complex global environment. 

    The FT’s Commodities Global Summit 2026 will include three days of high-level content, curated and moderated by leading FT journalists. The agenda includes insightful interviews with CEOs from major trading houses, complemented by productive and meaningful networking opportunities. Discussions will confront the challenges and opportunities facing the sector across geopolitics, supply and demand, technology and innovation, finance and investment.
