Notes from the FT Commodities Summit 2023

In this special episode, I provide notes, quotes and my take away from the FT Commodities Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland. Starting the day Credit Suisse was taken over by UBS, the conference was held against a backdrop of financial turmoil and geopolitical fractures. What do the leaders of the commodities sector see as the major opportunities and challenges, after a year of record profits and the sector itself becoming central to global strategic interests and energy transition? What are the price predictions and the nature of the trading environment for the rest of the year? This is one of the few events where the CEOs of all the trading houses meet and publicly discuss their role and views on the market.
