One of the few good points about skyrocketing food prices is that they could benefit agriculture-focused ETFs:
- PowerShares DB Agriculture (DBA): up 18.7% year-to-date
- Market Vectors Global Agribusiness (MOO): up 2.5% year-to-date
- iPath Dow Jones Agriculture (JJA): up 11.4% year-to-date
As long as biofuels exist, there are a number of green and alternative energy ETFs around that can capture the sector, including:
- PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio (PZD)
- Van Eck Market Vectors Environmental Services (EVX)
- First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge (QCLN)
