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.
