I hold some shares of the Invesco DB Agriculture ETF (DBA) and am somewhat concerned with the probable Canadian railway strike which would take place at midnight tonight. I know that it will affect both imports and exports of fertilizers and commodities between both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. gets about 75% of its potash from Canada and farmers still need to do their fall fertilization. A strike would also affect the amount of grain the U.S. can transport from the upper midwest to the Pacific NW, with 2/3 still needing to be harvested. Would it be a smart idea to sell some shares before midnight? Is the price of DBA going to go down?
