FT Global Commodities Summit

London, January 2012

The Super-Cycle: New tactics for an evolving market: The Financial Times is launching its first Global Commodities Summit on April 24-25, 2012 at the Beau Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland. Commodities Now is proud to be partnering on this event and we encourage you to attend this critical debate.

Commodities prices have become critical to the global economy due to their impact on inflation and economic growth and, thus, on equity and capital markets. This major thought-leadership event will be chaired by the FT's Editor, Lionel Barber (pictured)  and has been devised by Javier Blas, the FT's Commodities Editor.

The two day conference will bring together trading companies, professional investors, buyers and producers to provide an unrivalled opportunity to interact with key decision-makers from a range of financial industry sectors and to gather strategic information and advice on the latest trends affecting economies, regulation and investment in commodities markets across the world.
