This session gathers top traders across, energy, agri, and metals, to discuss the hot topic of the shockwaves caused by geopolitical issues and tensions which are shaping the commodities industry in 2026:  

• ​​How will further deglobalization/trade disruptions shape future supply chains? Are we seeing just new trading patterns, or a true reversal of globalization?

• Do we foresee these tariffs leading to long-term shifts in global trade patterns?

• What’s the future of commodity pricing and financing? Will we see permanent regional divergences or new equilibria?

In this networking-based session, we will split the room into roundtables, to discuss how we can work together as an industry to further diversity, addressing questions such as: 

• How do we make opportunities more accessible to a more diverse range of talent?

• How sufficiently has the DE&I agenda evolved beyond just gender in the commodity finance industry?

• How can we boost involvement from everyone in this space, including those who make up the majority of this industry? What actions can allies take to advance equality in the workplace?
