How AI is reshaping the complex commodities market

By Victor Ng | Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 1:50 PM Asia/Singapore

How AI is reshaping the complex commodities market

Across Asia Pacific, commodities sectors are navigating heightened complexity, driven by shifting trade dynamics, supply chain disruptions, and the energy transition.

Meanwhile, AI adoption is accelerating, helping businesses make faster, data-driven decisions to stay ahead of market shifts. From real-time analytics to credible insights, advanced technologies are becoming indispensable for managing volatility and optimising operations.

Take for instance Singapore, a key global trading hub that is at the forefront of this transformation. The country leads AI adoption in Asia, with companies leveraging data-driven insights to enhance business agility. As the government continues to emphasize AI skills development in the latest national budget discussions, there’s a strong push for industries — including commodities — to leverage advanced analytics for resilience and growth.

In this Q&A, Alan Spanos, Director of Data Solutions, ICIS, provides deeper insights into these trends and share best practices for AI-driven decision-making in commodity markets. 

How are emerging AI and automation innovations transforming decision-making in the commodities market?

Spanos: AI and automation are completely changing the way decisions are made in the commodities market. Instead of relying on manual data crunching and gut instinct, AI processes massive amounts of structured and unstructured data in real time. That means traders and analysts get instant insights into price trends, supply chain shifts, and even geopolitical risks that could impact the market.

One of the biggest advantages is in forecasting and planning. AI models analyze historical data, market sentiment, and external factors — like weather disruptions or policy changes — to predict price movements more accurately. That helps businesses manage risk better and stay ahead of volatility.

Automation also takes a lot of the manual work out of the equation. Instead of spending hours sifting through reports, traders can focus on strategy and decision-making, while AI handles the heavy lifting.

For example, Ask ICIS, our AI-powered market intelligence tool, makes this even easier by delivering instant answers to complex market questions. It helps businesses quickly find, synthesize, and understand critical market insights, enabling them to respond faster and make confident, data-backed decisions.

Beyond decision-making, AI-driven automation allows businesses to test different market scenarios and evaluate potential risks in real time. ICIS leverages over 10,000 machine learning models to forecast price, demand, and supply trends, giving customers a forward-looking view of market movements. In fast-moving and volatile markets, this level of predictive insight is a game-changer.

What can machine-to-machine integration, data analytics and AI do together for business processes and efficiency?
