A student-led commodities & markets group
at the University of Chicago
UChicago Commodities is a student-led club founded in 2025. Our leadership team is made up of students from the U.S. and around the world.
Based in Chicago — one of the world's most influential commodity hubs — we teach our peers about commodity markets by connecting academic curiosity with real-world industry practice.
Every Sunday, our members publish in-depth analysis covering energy, agriculture, minerals, and logistics markets — bridging academic curiosity with real-world practice.
Read on LinkedIn ↗From global energy markets to critical minerals supply chains, we explore the commodities that power the modern world.
Oil, natural gas, LNG, power markets, and the clean energy transition. Exploring how geopolitics and technology reshape global energy flows.
Grains, oilseeds, livestock, softs, and fertilizers. Understanding how weather, trade policy, and population growth drive food commodity markets.
Copper, lithium, cobalt, rare earths, and precious metals. Analyzing critical mineral supply chains powering the electrification era.
Shipping, freight derivatives, storage, pipeline infrastructure, and supply chain. Exploring how commodities move from wellhead to end user.
