Commodities ETFs are a type of exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invest in physical commodities such as precious metals, energy, agricultural products, and industrial metals. These ETFs provide investors with exposure to the performance of the commodities market, which can include changes in the price of the underlying commodities.

Commodity ETFs may invest in various physical commodities such as gold, silver, oil, wheat, corn, and copper. They can also invest in futures contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a specific commodity at a future date at a pre-determined price. This allows investors to gain exposure to the price movements of a commodity without physically owning it.

Commodities ETFs can be used as a form of diversification for an investment portfolio as they tend to have a low correlation with other asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. They also provide a hedge against inflation, as the prices of many commodities tend to increase when inflation rises.
