Global Commodities and the Race for the White House
The Impact on the Global Commodities Market
With just weeks to go until the US presidential election, voters will be casting their ballots against a backdrop of growing international turbulence, including escalating conflict in the Middle East, ongoing war in Ukraine, rising tensions with China and economic stagnation in many leading markets.
This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Kpler, brought together executives, investors and policy experts from the commodities industry to explore the potential consequences for the global commodities market of a Trump victory compared with a Harris win. It evaluated the ways in which changes in trading policies, alliances and sanctions could impact key commodities sectors. It also examined how both leaders might navigate the fragile global and domestic political environments, and how their decisions could impact commodities in both the short and long term.
