CANE in Focus    

CANE follows an index which tracks the daily changes of a weighted average of the closing prices for three futures contracts for sugar that are traded on ICE Futures US. The expense ratio of the fund is 1.79% (see all Agricultural ETFs here).

Why the Move

There was a steep spike in sugar prices in the international market on Friday, following a prediction of a sharp supply shortfall.
