Understanding systematic CTA flows & their evolving influence on commodity markets | Session 1

Commodity markets are entering a structurally different era. Macro shocks, geopolitical fragmentation, and the energy transition are driving persistent volatility across assets - while systematic CTA strategies and algorithmic trading are playing an increasingly central role in how prices move.

These rule-based strategies respond to price trends, volatility, and risk signals across dozens of commodities simultaneously. As CTA positioning shifts, their flows can meaningfully influence liquidity, price dynamics, and the speed of market moves - often in ways that amplify or accelerate the impact of major macro events.

This webinar explores how systematic CTA strategies operate, how their positioning evolves through market cycles, and how their trading interacts with the forces reshaping commodity markets. It will offer practical insight into why understanding these dynamics has become essential for traders, risk managers, and investors - and how systematic flows can be used to navigate today's more complex market environment.

There is another session at 14:30 EDT | 18:30 GMT - you can register for that session here.
