December 31, 2020 Agricultural ETFs are making solid gains Wednesday, as agricultural futures like wheat and oats are on the run in the final days of 2020. Oats futures surged Wednesday, up more than 3.17%, targeting their June highs. Wheat futures rallied 3.40%. With the coronavirus continuing to ravage the globe, issues in the supply chain, especially due to transportation issues, have driven commodity prices higher due to fresh demand, experts said. Last week, rice reached a nine-year high of $500 a tonne in Vietnam and Thailand thanks to a deficit of containers. In recent years, commodity producers and futures traders realized that investors and traders must monitor diseases that infect not only human populations, but birds, bats, cattle, hogs, and many types of plants including other major crops.
