As food prices soar, so should this fund

   

Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (NYSE: MOO)This ETF is designed to closely replicate the price and yield performance of the DAX global Agribusiness index.

Technically the stock broke from a near-perfect cup last September and has traded in a tight bull channel since then.  Volume is accelerating as foreign inflation in agricultural products has become excessive.

Buy as a hedge against inflation in food prices and as an excellent long-term investment.  Traders may want to jump aboard for a further break to $62 which is the top of the current channel.
