AI is here: jobs on the chopping block?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already made its mark on the trading industry, and yet it still has barely scratched the surface in its potential. While this means big things for brokers and trading venues, the prospect of free labor and advanced capabilities could herald the loss of thousands of jobs worldwide. Will robots or AI systems be replacing the traditional core elements of the trading industry? Find out what the future holds during the panel discussion.
Precious metals, FX in focus after new US laws
The Western world is in a period of flux with new regulations overtaking existing industries. In the US however, venues are grappling with the new tax laws passed by the Trump administration last December.

Stressing the importance of trading education
