We present a Special Episode of SmarterMarkets™, bringing you exclusive interviews from the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026.
SmarterMarkets™ returned to Lausanne, Switzerland for the 15th edition of the Financial Times Commodities Global Summit, where we caught up with summit participants on the important issues of the day.
The theme for this year's summit was ‘finding the advantage in a fragmented world.’ The conversations were focused on the state of our supply chains and the increasing stakes of the ongoing conflict in Iran.
We've compiled a selection of those interviews into this Special Episode of SmarterMarkets™. If you would like to listen to the full interviews, they are available on the SmarterMarkets™ Presents media portal. They’re also available on our second podcast channel, SmarterMarkets™ Presents.
