A quant’s guide to finding alpha in commodities trading

Commodities are an investing sphere unto themselves, offering diversification, decorrelation from equities and bonds – and plenty of surprises along the way. In this episode of Making Sense, Eloise Goulder, head of the Data Assets and Alpha Group at J.P. Morgan, sits down with Kranthi Gade, head of Global Macro QIS Product Structuring, to hear how the quantitative strategies group builds and tracks systematic, tailored commodities trading for clients seeking alternative alpha. Tune in to hear the tactics and trends that comprise this fascinating approach to an equally fascinating asset class.   This episode was recorded on May 12, 2026.   The podcast's views do not necessarily reflect those of J.P.
