As ‘old’ and ‘new’ commodity markets mature, it will be a strategic imperative for producers and consumers of those commodities to leverage their inherent advantages — like existing assets, product and capacities — and to rapidly mature their commercial models to both manage the increased risks from these markets; and to actively capture value at stakeAbhi Bhuchar

What We Think
For centuries, traders have played a vital role in ensuring that global goods arrive at the right place, at the right time, to the right specifications, and for the right price. The commodity trader serves as a crucial facilitator of global trade, ensuring the continuation of global commerce, even amidst fluctuating prices and a constantly changing environment. With global demand and supply drivers undergoing structural changes — due to geopolitics, the energy transition, and more — their role in our society, and ability to create value, is only going to grow.
