Tap Rising Grocery Prices with These ETFs
Rising inflation has pushed the price of groceries to the highest level since May 2009. According to the latest data from Kantar, grocery price inflation surged 7% over the past four weeks, marking the fastest increase in 13 years. The rally was driven by a sharp rise in the price of dog food, savory snacks and fresh meat.
Investors seeking to tap the increased price in groceries should consider First Trust Nasdaq Food & Beverage ETF, iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers ETF, Invesco Dynamic Food & Beverage ETF and Invesco DB Agriculture Fund.
Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine has disrupted crop supplies, piling up more inflationary pain on consumers and worsening the global hunger crisis. A recent survey by Kantar showed that about 22% of households are "struggling" to make ends meet, as rising price is a concern for more than nine in 10 of these people (read: Food ETFs Getting Investors' Love Amid Shortage).
