On 15 October, Alkagesta joined Industry Networking Night 2026, organised by the Maritime Merchants Society and supported by ITI@SMU.

Agshin Bakirzade, Commodity Trading Director, APAC, and Afiq Salim, Senior Marine Fuel Trader, met SMU students interested in shipping and commodities. The questions were practical and thoughtful: career paths in trading, operations and trade finance, and what working in the marine fuels industry is really like.

Meeting students so curious about the industry was a highlight of the evening. Singapore is the world’s largest marine fuels hub, and events like this help young talent see the opportunities ahead.

Alkagesta was a Bronze sponsor of the Commodities Innovation Awards 2026 in Geneva on 27 October — an evening recognising outstanding achievement and innovation across the global commodities trading industry.

Representing Alkagesta at the event were Executive & Non-Executive Board Members.

Geneva sits at the heart of the global commodities ecosystem and at the heart of Alkagesta’s European operations. The decision to support the Commodities Innovation Awards reflects a conviction that the industry’s ability to respond to geopolitical disruption, energy transition pressures, and supply chain complexity depends on the kind of innovation and collaboration that events like this exist to foster.

Steel markets in 2026 are being pulled in two directions at once. Low-cost Chinese exports are resetting prices everywhere they land, while demand across Africa keeps rising with urbanisation and infrastructure investment.

Our latest Commodity Market Insight looks at how Alkavex, the steel trading arm of Alkagesta, operated in that environment.

- China’s steel exports rose 13.8% in 2025 to a record 131.2 million tonnes, lifting its share of world steel exports from 19% in 2019 to 41% (OECD Steel Outlook 2026)
- Worldsteel projects African steel demand growth of 3.8% in 2026 and 4.6% in 2027
- Wire rods, beams, hot-rolled coil, tubes and merchant bars were the strongest sellers in 2026, alongside grinding balls for the mining sector
- Deals were decided by logistics, specifications, financing and mill approvals as much as by price

“In a market that is exposed to trade policy shifts and some pricing volatility, financial discipline is what allows us to move quickly when opportunities emerge,” said CFO Sylvain Artigala.
