As inflation rises, the Fed is forced to increase interest rates. The increase in interest rates is making the stock market crash. Gold is not doing well right now and the only market where I see good returns is the agriculture market. Futures on corn, wheat, and soybeans are skyrocketing and I am thinking about investing. This makes sense because as inflation rises restaurants and groceries are going to raise their prices, thus raising the price of agricultural products. Plus food is a big input in the CPI and during a recession, people will cut spending on many things but food is not one of them. However, I do not have a futures account and was thinking about buying an ETF. Can someone explain why WEAT “ETF” is so much lower than futures on wheat?
