BANGKOK and SINGAPORE, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SUPCON participated in Gastech 2026, held from 14–17 September at BITEC, Bangkok, bringing together energy leaders, technology innovators and industry professionals from around the world to explore the future of Oil & Gas, LNG and energy industries.
Under the theme "Bridging Sensing to Autonomy," SUPCON demonstrated how Industrial AI, advanced automation, digital platforms, sensing technologies and autonomous robotics can support the journey towards the Autonomous Operating Plant (AOP). This positioning aligned closely with Gastech 2026's focus on Artificial Intelligence and digitalisation, including the application of emerging technologies to improve operational efficiency, automation and decision-making across the energy industry.
At the SUPCON booth, visitors explored live demonstrations featuring the Universal Control System (UCS), Tier0 and TPT models, PRISM Analyzer, WIM Compas, TISOMIC, robots, and sensing instruments including transmitters and valves. The showcase illustrated how SUPCON connects field-level sensing and control with digital software, AI and robots to create a more integrated approach to industrial operations.
The AOP concept and autonomous robotics attracted strong interest throughout the event, with visitors exploring how robotic technologies can support industrial inspection, monitoring and operations. The UCS also drew interest as a key platform for process control and automation within the broader AOP architecture, reflecting growing industry interest in integrating control, and autonomous capabilities.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial markets in 2026 face several key influences, including geopolitical risks, energy price swings, interest rate expectations, and uneven economic growth. According to IMF estimates, global GDP will grow by 3.0% in 2026, while energy importers, exporters, and countries benefiting from the technology cycle will face divergent market conditions.
With such changes occurring in the financial markets, traders increasingly focus on different asset classes: currencies, commodities, and indices. In Asia-Pacific, regional currencies, monetary policy, technology, and equity markets are among the key areas shaping trading activity.
Regional Currencies Reveal Diverging Economic Contexts
There is a clear example of Japan's economy. According to the Bank of Japan, underlying inflation will gradually rise to levels that are compatible with its target of 2%. The BoJ will keep on fine-tuning monetary accommodation depending on changes in economic activity, prices and financial conditions. The Bank also mentions foreign exchange rate movements, crude oil prices and AI-related demand as key factors.
However, the economy of China looks different. Based on official estimates, China's GDP grew by 4.3% year on year in Q2 2026, compared to 5.0% in Q1. Year-to-date growth was estimated at 4.7%.
Changes in economic growth estimates can influence the yuan's rate, as well as sentiment among the economies associated with Chinese trade and commodity demand.
Indices Reflect Growth and Technology Trends
Regional stock indices offer traders another perspective on these trends. Indices in Japan, China, Hong Kong and other APAC markets may reveal changes in the expectations of growth, exports, consumer spending, manufacturing and technological progress.
The latter becomes especially relevant. According to the IMF, AI-driven demand supports the economies integrated in the technology production chain. Furthermore, the Bank of Japan highlights growing AI-related demand as a positive contributor to domestic economic activity.
Commodities Are Still Important
Both gold and oil belong to the APAC story. Rising energy prices may increase the cost pressure for importing economies, whereas Asia still plays a major role in the gold market.
World Gold Council expects investment activity in APAC to make a bigger contribution to gold-demand growth in H2 2026. During the first six months of the year, gold ETFs in Asia posted net inflows of 70 tons.
For APAC traders, Forex tends to reflect differences in monetary policies, indices highlight shifts in growth and technology, while commodities often tie back to global inflation and geopolitics.
