Genuine question. How does retail investor invest in commodities which are all future contracts?
- usednet 5y agoCommodity ETFs
- wanderingmind 5y agoWow never knew about them. Always assumed ETFs are only on equity. Thank you

- jqer 5y agoThere are commodity ETFs that use future contracts or sometimes just buy physical metals. Some funds buy stocks of commodity producers which are expected to be highly correlated with commodity itself. Also in Europe there are Forex brokers that offer contracts (CFDs) on commodities, but there are a lot of scammy firms in this area, and the spreads charged are usually hefty. (according to wikipedia in US CFDs are banned)
