Dubai, UAE | 2–3 September 2026
Alkagesta participated in Energy Trading Week Middle East 2026, held at the Conrad Dubai — the inaugural forum bringing together the region’s commodity trading community to examine the mechanics of modern energy trading, market intelligence, and risk management across global commodity markets.
The forum was designed around the Middle East’s position as the world’s most critical energy hub, with sessions addressing the evolving dynamics of global oil products and gas trading, LNG expansion, systematic trading strategies, and the regulatory and compliance frameworks shaping cross-border market activity.
Alkagesta was represented by Tural Huseynov, Managing Director, Investments and Asset Management, who engaged with senior market participants across the two-day programme.
Among the topics addressed during the forum were:
- The strategies being deployed by national oil companies to scale energy trading operations, blending traditional offtake with spot, speculative, and arbitrage opportunities
- The outlook for oil products markets, trade flows, and refinery economics in the context of evolving supply dynamics and shifting freight, carbon, and policy-related risks
- The continued relevance of technical analysis in volatile commodity markets, including the integration of AI-enhanced and algorithmic models alongside classical trading signals
- The role of compliance as a facilitator of sustainable cross-border expansion, covering sanctions frameworks, market conduct, regulatory risk, and the growing role of RegTech in energy trading operations
For Alkagesta, participation in Energy Trading Week Middle East reinforced the importance of market intelligence, disciplined risk management, and compliance-enabled commercial execution as the company continues to expand its trading activities across global energy and commodity markets.
