FT Commodities Global Summit 2018 | Financial Times | 19 March 2018 | Beau Rivage Palace, Place du Port 17-19 Lausanne CH 1000 Switzerland

Commodities have always been prone to boom and bust. Now, more than a year into a recovery, the foundations for a new cycle are being laid. A lull in investment is already leading to a contraction in supply across many markets, helping to support prices and boost sentiment. At the same time, the global economy is enjoying its best period of growth since the financial crisis and new sources of demand are emerging as the green energy revolution takes hold - creating opportunities but also challenges for the world’s biggest traders.

To thrive in this new era - where technology and digitisation will play a greater role - the industry will need to employ the best tactics and strategies. The leaders of some of the world’s biggest trading houses and resources companies will gather in Lausanne to debate this topic and other key issues facing oil, metals and grains markets.
