Invesco DB Base Metals Fund

DBB tracks an index of three base metal futures contracts. It selects contracts based on the shape of the futures curve to minimize contango.

The Invesco DB Base Metals Fund ETF, holding copper, aluminum, and zinc, is critical for infrastructure and technology, and is recommended for buying at current levels with room to add. Base metals prices have declined post-election due to a stronger dollar and higher U.S. interest rates, impacting the DBB ETF's performance. China's economic recovery in 2025 could boost demand for base metals, positively influencing the DBB ETF.
