Global transportation bottlenecks: Will ordering more ships be enough?
Strong consumer demand and strains on shipping have forced container ship operators to rush in expanding their fleets. However, with problems persisting throughout the whole transport and logistics supply chain – spanning from port and warehouse capacity to the ability of logistics networks to deliver goods to their final consumers – will this be enough? In this webinar, we take a look at the different transportation bottlenecks which remain a serious problem to global supply chains.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Monday 10th January | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Monday 10th January | 10:00 GMT
- Americas – Monday 10th January | 16:00 EST

What 2025 and a second Trump presidency holds for Latin America
Growth dynamics next year will differ across Latin America's six largest economies – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru – but most economies will experience an acceleration in growth. However, this contrasts with a consumer outlook which is losing steam, and instead we see investment and trade as driving higher growth in 2025. This will come with support from US and domestic monetary policy easing, as inflation will broadly be at target. We will explore the stories affecting individual economies, such as the risk of judicial reform in Mexico to investment and the impact of President Milei’s radical reforms in Argentina. November will bring the US presidential election, and we will examine the impacts on Latin America of a new trade war under a second Trump presidency.

Commodity outlook: How much further will prices fall?
Commodity prices have plunged in recent weeks, and investment banks are slashing their forecasts for next year. Demand has been weaker than investors anticipated, especially in China, albeit broadly in line with our own more bearish expectations. Strong supply from commodities such as wheat, copper, and crude oil has also weighed heavily on prices and contributed to inventory build. Gold has been an exception, with central banks driving its price higher and making it a bright spot for the complex. In this webinar, we explore the key themes facing commodity markets in 2025 and discuss the outlook for supply, demand, and prices.
