June 04, 2026 [Reuters]- Global commodities trading house Trafigura recorded net profits of $4.1 billion in its first half 2026 financial results on Thursday, smashing its total of $2.7 billion for its 2025 full year.
Trafigura’s financial year runs from October to September. It said that its financial first-quarter up to the end of December was its second-strongest on record, ahead of the outbreak of war in the Middle East that has since roiled markets and pushed up prices.
Performance has “continued to be good” in its second half to date, Trafigura said, however the external environment is difficult to forecast given ongoing political tensions and market volatility.
The firm’s annual profit record remains the $7.4 billion it posted in 2023, when it made $5.5 billion in the first half alone.
Trafigura said the latest result reflected broad-based contributions across its main trading divisions; oil, metals, gas and power.
