Already Delivering Value

In 2026, AI is delivering commercial value in commodity trading, but the picture is uneven, with many bottlenecks and opportunities. Among the findings of our new report:

  • AI is expected to deliver an average additional 3.34% in trading P&L by 2027
  • Data quality, access and organisation is ranked as the top-most barrier to scaling AI adoption and integration
  • Executives rank faster decision cycles, superior proprietary data, and better risk pricing as aspects of AI that will deliver the greatest competitive advantage over the next three years.
