Four chokeholds are squeezing investor portfolios. Here's what to do before your grocery bill proves it in October.

The Strait of Hormuz risk creates a compelling setup for agriculture and fertilizer equities like CF, NTR, and IPI. I see the most attractive risk/reward in downstream sectors—fertilizer producers, broad agriculture exposure (via DBA), and SOYB October calls.

The Teucrium Corn Fund gained 5% in the last month, breaking above $18.30.

Agri ETFs like VEGI face pressure as the US-Iran conflict disrupts fertilizer supply, spikes costs, and strains farmers amid fragile food-chain recovery.

A commodity rally that powered energy and metals higher over the past year may be ready for its next phase, with agriculture taking the lead. The ALPS CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF (CCNR) returned 18.1% year-to-date through March, making it the top performer across the ALPS fund lineup, according to ETF Database.

Grocery bills have climbed steadily for two years, and Bureau of Labor Statistics data confirms it: the Food CPI hit 345.17 in January 2026, the highest reading in the 12-month dataset, up from 337.75 in April 2025.

Invesco DB Agriculture Fund ETF is rated a Buy as the 2026 crop year approaches, with upside potential outweighing downside risk at $26 per share. DBA's nearly 50% allocation to grains, oilseeds, and oilseed products positions it for gains as these markets recover from multi-year lows. Inflation-driven production costs, rising global demand, and weather/geopolitical risks support a bullish long-term trend for DBA.

The Invesco DB Agriculture Fund ETF offers diversified exposure to agricultural commodities, trading near $25.74 and remaining in a bullish long-term trend. DBA's largest allocation is to grains and oilseeds, which are near multi-year lows, while animal proteins and softs have seen record highs but now trend lower. Commodity cyclicality and rising production costs suggest limited downside and significant upside price potential for DBA as markets head into 2026.

Invesco DB Agriculture Fund ETF remains a strong choice for agricultural sector exposure, with effective risk allocation and a diversified portfolio across grains, softs, and animal proteins. Despite sector divergences in 2025, DBA's rules-based approach targets areas of price action and liquidity, supporting its resilience and performance. The ETF's 3.92% dividend yield offsets its relatively high 0.85% expense ratio, making the cost structure more attractive for investors.

A seemingly offhand comment by President Donald Trump may have caused more than political rumination; it's now causing turmoil in commodity markets, with impacts for ETF investors.
