Commodity Returns for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $27.32 per Share to $26.68 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and related change from the Share price on
Current report
March 31, 2026 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.25 per Share (-3.92%) on June 12, 2026, and a high of $28.73 per Share (+5.16%) on May 13, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -2.34%.
Current report
Agricultural commodities generated negative performance during the second quarter of 2026, as weakness across grains and several soft commodities more than offset strong gains in cocoa and coffee. Corn and lean hogs were the largest detractors, followed by wheat and sugar. Grain prices came under pressure as improving U.S. weather conditions, favorable crop development, and expectations for ample global supplies reduced concerns over production shortfalls, while higher global corn stock estimates reinforced the bearish outlook. Cocoa was the largest positive contributor to returns, with coffee also posting gains as renewed concerns over West African weather, disease pressures, and the potential impact of a developing El Niño supported soft commodity prices. Livestock performance was mixed. Live cattle posted modest gains as historically tight U.S. cattle supplies, the smallest beef cow herd in decades, and concerns surrounding the spread of New World screwworm supported prices, while lean hogs weakened. Agricultural markets also responded to broader geopolitical developments during the quarter. Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran increased volatility across commodity markets and raised concerns over agricultural input costs, while the Trump-Xi summit and China's renewed commitments to purchase U.S. agricultural products helped support sentiment.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $26.34 per Share to $26.16 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on March 31, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $25.28 per Share (-4.02%) on April 8, 2025, and a high of $27.68 per Share (+5.09%) on May 21, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -0.68%.
Current report
The Fund ended the second quarter of 2025 with a loss as agricultural markets faced several challenges. Coffee was the biggest drag on performance, dropping sharply because better weather and bigger harvests in Brazil and Central America led to an improved supply outlook. Sugar also struggled, as higher production forecasts in India and Brazil meant more supply to the market. Corn and wheat both fell, mainly due to strong plantings and good weather in the U.S. and Brazil. Trade and tariff uncertainty also weighed on prices more broadly. On the positive side, cocoa performed positively, supported by supply shortages and weather concerns in West Africa. Livestock markets were also a bright spot, with live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hogs all benefiting from tight U.S. herds and strong demand, especially as the summer grilling season began. Soybeans were mostly flat, as good planting was balanced by trade issues and positive changes in biofuel policy.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the NAV of each Share decreased from $27.26 per Share to $26.69 per Share. Falling commodity futures contract prices for Corn, Feeder Cattle, Kansas City Wheat, Lean Hogs, Soybeans, Soybean Meal, Sugar and Wheat were partially offset by rising commodity futures contract prices of Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Live Cattle and Soybean Oil during the three months ended June 30, 2026, contributing to an overall 2.65% decrease in the level of the Index and to a 1.75% decrease in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index TR™. The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was -2.09%.
Current report
Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $(35.5) million, primarily resulting from $11.3 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $2.4 million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $(46.6) million and net operating expenses of $2.6 million.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the NAV of each Share decreased from $26.33 per Share to $26.20 per Share. Falling commodity futures contract prices for Coffee, Corn, Cotton, Kansas City Wheat, Sugar and Wheat were partially offset by rising commodity futures contract prices of Cocoa, Feeder Cattle, Lean Hogs, Live Cattle and Soybeans during the three months ended June 30, 2025, contributing to an overall 1.34% decrease in the level of the Index and to a 0.27% decrease in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index TR™. The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was -0.50%.

Current report
Fund Share Price Performance
Current report
Agricultural commodities generated positive returns for the first half of 2026, led by strong gains in soybean oil, soybeans, cattle, cotton, and wheat. Oilseeds benefited from continued biofuel demand, weather-related production risks, and expectations for increased U.S. agricultural exports after China committed to additional purchases of U.S. farm products and reaffirmed soybean import commitments following the Trump-Xi summit. Livestock was another key source of strength, with live cattle and feeder cattle prices supported by historically tight herd levels following years of herd liquidation, while concerns surrounding the spread of New
Current report
World screwworm added to supply uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions, including the U.S.-Iran conflict and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, further supported agricultural markets by increasing energy and input costs and creating uncertainty around global grain trade flows. These gains more than offset weakness in corn, cocoa, lean hogs, and coffee. Corn prices came under pressure during the second quarter as favorable U.S. growing conditions and expectations for ample global supplies weighed on prices, while cocoa and coffee recovered during the second quarter but remained negative contributors on a year-to-date basis following sharp declines earlier in the year.
Current report
The Fund posted a negative return for the first half of 2025 as agricultural markets experienced large amounts of volatility, mainly from cocoa and coffee. Cocoa, which hurt performance in the first quarter due to surplus forecasts and weak demand, bounced back in the second quarter as supply shortages and weather issues in West Africa returned. Coffee, after a strong start in the first quarter from drought worries in Brazil and Vietnam, fell in the second quarter as weather improved and harvests grew. Sugar also went from an early strength to a later weakness as production forecasts in India and Brazil increased. Corn and wheat both finished the first half lower, as strong planting and good weather led to expectations of big harvests. Trade and tariff uncertainty continued to be a challenge for grains. Livestock markets were steadily positive, with live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hogs all supported by tight U.S. herds and strong demand.

Previous report
Agricultural commodities delivered strong performance in the first quarter of 2026, led by meaningful gains in grains, particularly soybeans, soybean oil, and wheat, as supply constraints, steady export demand, and early‑season weather uncertainty supported prices. Livestock also contributed positively, with cattle prices remaining elevated amid historically tight herd levels following years of herd liquidation and resilient end‑market demand. Grain‑led strength, however, was partially offset by weakness in soft commodities, most notably cocoa and coffee. Heightened geopolitical tensions due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, and the associated risk to global energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, provided a broader tailwind to commodity markets by lifting inflation expectations and reinforcing investor demand for real assets. Specific to agricultural markets, higher energy prices increased input costs for fertilizers and fuel, raised transportation expenses, and pressured production economics for agricultural producers.
Previous report
Agricultural commodities performed negatively in the first quarter of 2025 with the largest detractor being Cocoa. Cocoa was the largest contributor to the sector's positive performance last year, but Cocoa was pressured by a weakening fundamental outlook due to demand concerns sparked by global trade concerns and the International Cocoa Organization’s forecast for the first global surplus in four years for 2024/2025. These considerations caused front month Cocoa prices to plunge by more than 30%. On the other hand, positive performance was led by Coffee, Live Cattle, and Sugar. Coffee rallied nearly 20% year-to-date, spurred by renewed supply concerns as the two largest global Coffee growers, Brazil and Vietnam, faced a severe drought to start the year and persistent adverse weather, respectively. Cattle and Sugar also rallied on supply-side concerns, with the former receiving an additional boost from strengthening demand, and a weaker U.S. dollar was a tailwind for commodities overall.
