International Derivatives Expo
19 June 2023 - 21 June 2023 • 6:00 PM - 6:00 PM BST
Standing still is not an option in today’s evolving cleared derivatives environment. Without adapting to new products, processes, technologies and regulations, your business won’t meet the needs of tomorrow’s industry. That’s why IDX — the International Derivatives Expo — is the ideal place to be: an event that brings together industry leaders, vendors and policymakers to discuss what’s “now” in derivatives, and what lies ahead.
FIA will return to the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge for IDX 2023. Make note of 19-21 June 2023 and check back for more details.

Commodities Markets – a Tectonic Shift
Recent exceptional volatility has compounded the problems created by the decade-long departure of major banks and financial institutions from the physical commodities market leaving them further distanced from their financial cousins.

What impact will these changes have on commodity markets and what should derivatives markets do to remain relevant to the needs of the underlying markets?
