Economy crash =/= stock market crash?

My commodities ETF (CMFP) doesn't appear to include wheat. But I'm wondering if it will still be affected by what is looking like a global wheat shortage on its way.

That entirely depends on how the reality differs from the prediction of commodity prices.

India has just banned food exports. It only exports 1% of global wheat, however. But this will cause chaos when the markets open on Monday.

Question: how will this affect my commodities ETF which is CMFP?

Global food shortages are coming. Stock up. 

My grandparent were on rations during WWII, get a grip man. The world is not ending...not yet.

People were more resilent back then. Now it's all whinging and complaints. With a reliance on the nanny state to solve every problem. 

And more people grew their own food back then, especially in rural areas.

Just living in a rural area doesn't equate to a having a bigger garden.

Every time markets go down you post that they have gone down.  I don't see corresponding posts every time the markets go up.  Looking for prediction confirmation per chance?

Haha I noticed this too. The market did well on Monday and Tuesday yet he posted on Wednesday when they were down. 

He even said previously that the opening on Monday would be 'chaos' (his own words) 😂

Hey guys, that’s being a bit harsh.

It could just be a coincidence that he only checks the markets on days’ when it’s down!
