Jiří Filip Press Release: Financial markets have been going through a period of increased volatility and uncertainty in recent years. Geopolitical tensions, changes in central bank monetary policy, inflation developments and changes in energy markets fundamentally influence the decisions of investors and traders around the world. These were the topics addressed by this year's Online Trading Conference 2026, which offered the views of experienced traders, analysts and investors on current market developments and possible scenarios for their further development.
Geopolitics as one of the main drivers of markets
One of the most frequently discussed topics at the conference was the growing influence of geopolitics on financial markets. The panel dedicated to commodities featured speakers such as Jiří Tyleček, Juraj Karpiš, Petr Plecháč and Vojtěch Slovák, who focused on how geopolitical events affect the prices of commodities, energy raw materials and exchange rates. The discussion touched on, for example, the growing tension between world powers, changes in global supply chains and the development of the energy market. These factors have a direct impact not only on the prices of oil and natural gas, but also on industrial metals and agricultural commodities. In an environment of increased uncertainty, investors are also increasingly interested in assets that are traditionally considered safe havens. Gold was one of the instruments that was often discussed, because it has historically served as a hedge against inflation, geopolitical tensions and currency depreciation.
Monetary policy and inflation under scrutiny
Another important topic of the conference was monetary policy and its impact on financial markets. After a period of rapid interest rate increases by central banks, investors are trying to estimate the future direction of the global economy. Analysts pointed out that central bank decisions have a fundamental influence on the development of stock markets, bonds, currencies and commodities. The development of inflation, the pace of economic growth and the fiscal policy of individual countries remain key factors that investors must monitor when making decisions. It is the combination of geopolitical events and monetary policy that today creates an environment in which financial markets can react very quickly and sometimes unpredictably. This places greater demands on investors' ability to work with information.macemi and manage risk properly.
Cryptocurrencies and their role in financial markets
A separate part of the conference was also dedicated to cryptocurrencies. The discussion panel included speakers such as Jakub Kralovanský, Marek Vaňha and Jiří Přibyl, who focused on the current development of the cryptocurrency market and its potential future direction. For example, the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, the development of regulation, and how the market could develop in the coming years were discussed. Cryptocurrencies remain one of the most dynamic segments of financial markets, and therefore attract increasing attention from investors and traders.
Trading Psychology and Mental Performance
In addition to market analysis, the conference also touched on the topics of trading psychology and mental performance. In her lecture, Michaela Vránová focused on the large role emotions play in trading on financial markets. She emphasized that long-term success in trading is not just a question of strategy or analytical skills. Discipline, the ability to manage stress and stick to a trading plan even during periods of losses are also very important. This topic was followed by a discussion on biohacking, which was addressed by, for example, Libor Mattuš. It focused on optimizing mental performance, concentration and energy, which are often crucial in active trading.
