JO in Focus

The underlying Bloomberg Coffee Subindex Total Return reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on coffee. The expense ratio is 0.45%.

Why the move?

Coffee prices have been rising due to the inclement weather. While a Brazilian drought have impacted crop yields adversely, storms in Nicaraugua and Honduras have hurt infrastructure, discouraging supplies to the United States. A shipping crisis and higher freight rates in Asia has also boosted costs of commodities, including coffee, per a source.

More Gains Ahead?

The fund has a positive weighted alpha of 30.40. So, there is a decent outlook ahead for those who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.
