Soybean based commodity ETFs and mutual funds invest the majority of their assets in futures contracts tied to soybeans futures. These funds tend to be passively managed and aim to provide exposure for investors who believe the price of soybeans is heading higher. Soybean futures are affected by changes in demand for soybeans and soybeans supply, making it an attractive commodity for investors who are bullish on soybeans consumption or bearish on soybeans production. As with other commodities, soybeans prices are not simply affected by changes in physical supply and demand. Speculators can play a big role in price movements. In addition, prices are often influenced by factors such as geopolitical tensions, climate changes, and changes in nutritional habits. Another factor that affects soybeans is switching, where farmers decide to plant more or less soybeans depending on whether another crop is more or less valuable. As a result, these funds are only appropriate for more aggressive investors. Last Updated: 11/26/2024 View more View less
