The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)Invesco DB Base Metals FundDBBTOP PICKApr 23, 2026

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Base metals rise when inflation expands aggressively.  DBA holds a portfolio of base metal based futures contracts for aluminum, zinc and copper.  Its beta to the market is only 0.5.  The MER is 0.8% and it does not pay a dividend.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $22, looking to achieve $32 -- upside potential over 25%.  Yield 0%

BUY

Aluminum, zinc, copper. The better trade right now than gold or silver. 

TOP PICK

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.

Base metals ETF. Splits between 3 metals copper, aluminum and zinc. Copper has been on a tear and is at a 7-month high right now. Aluminum and zinc are not too far behind. If the economy turns around there will be a huge demand for these metals.
