Bye Precious Metals, Hello Food Commodities

Mish's Daily

X is back @marketminute!!! 

 

Video here 

We’re seeing a potential rotation out of metals… and into food commodities. 

And one ETF to watch?
Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) 

DBA tracks a basket of grains and softs. That includes wheat, corn, sugar, the essentials. 

Now here’s the setup. 

Support comes in around 26.80. (Note this is a weekly chart)
If DBA can hold that level, this could be a move to 40 this year. 

But this isn’t just technical. 

This is macro… and it’s powerful. 

A potential mega El Niño is forming, possibly the strongest since the 1877 event that devastated global food supply. 

Scientists watching this?
They’re getting nervous. 

Add to that: 

War has disrupted fertilizer supply.
Farmers are already behind.
And drought conditions could tighten supply even further. 

 

Video:

 

So regardless of rates…
regardless of the dollar… 

Food is non-negotiable. 

And when supply gets tight?
Prices move. 

Bottom line? 

Keep your eye on DBA.
Because food commodities may be the next big rotation in this market.
