Powershares DB Base Metals ETFDBBTOP PICKJun 20, 2019Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 10, 2026. Market Open.
This year, gold and silver were the winners (with silver outperforming gold by more than double). Base metals tend to follow when precious metals surge. This ETF gives you access to copper, aluminum, and zinc -- backbone metals of the global economy. Copper has reached all-time highs; aluminum and zinc are at new 52-week highs. Base metals have a bit more beta.
Long term, think about AI infrastructure catalysts. Data centres, EVs, grid upgrades, electrification -- all extremely metal intensive, which reinforces demand momentum. OECD leading indicators are pointing to greater momentum in the global economy, which is good for base metals.
