Commodities: Harvesting Long-Only Investment with Enhanced Rolls in BERY

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Commodities are caught in a confluence of factors driving market dynamics; bubbling geopolitical tensions, adverse weather-related supply disruptions, pivots in the global economic landscape and shifts towards a low carbon economy are reshaping demand and production. Further, inflation continues to be a headline topic and there is much scrutiny on its direct linkage to commodity prices. Over 2024, there have been dispersion in performances across the commodities sectors with precious metals leading the charge higher up, while on the other hand grains are lagging behind and the petroleum sector has been flat. This combination of themes creates both volatility and opportunity, making commodities a compelling asset class for investments.

Join Matthew Bartolini, Head of SPDR Americas Research at SSGA and Jigna Gibb, Head of Commodities and Crypto Index Products at Bloomberg for an engaging discussion on commodity markets and investments in the Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield index via the SPDR CERY ETF.
