    Commodities: Why investors should take a diversified approach

    Crude oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) hit a four-month low after OPEC+ extended production cuts into 2025. In such uncertain conditions, investors looking to gain exposure to oil face challenges. VettaFi Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth joins Wealth! to discuss strategies for investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to protect against this commodity volatility. Rosenbluth notes that ETF investors are gravitating toward "more broadly diversified commodity-oriented ETFs." He recommends "diversified commodity strategy ETFs," such as the Aberdeen Standard Bloomberg All (BCI), as a means for individuals "to get the benefits of diversification" while shielding themselves from market volatility. "Many folks are nervous. They're looking for modest gains, up about 5%, or even down," Rosenbluth tells Yahoo Finance. "And so what we're finding is even the more free cash-flow, more broadly diversified ETFs are gaining traction."

    Is energy the gateway into the AI trade?

    With the AI boom propelling markets, investors might seek alternative avenues to capitalize on this emerging trend. CNIC Funds CEO Tim Kramer joins Wealth! to explore why the energy sector could present an enticing entry point into the AI trade. Kramer emphasizes that electricity "is the most consumed commodity in the US." He draws a parallel between the AI trade and the gold rush, suggesting that while gold was initially the hot commodity, attention soon shifted toward the companies or individuals that supplied the gold rush and trade—a similar pattern he anticipates with AI and electricity. "Given that backdrop on how much more electricity this is going to take, we think that we're in a very interesting position to give people an opportunity to get exposure to that piece of the sector, which is the increase in electricity consumption," Kramer tells Yahoo Finance.

    Why ETFs are a great way to get into crypto: Strategist

    Ethereum (ETH-USD) is surging following speculation that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may approve ether ETFs. VettaFi Investment Strategist Cinthia Murphy joins Wealth! to discuss cryptocurrency ETFs and what the latest news could signal for the sector. Bitcoin spot ETFs were approved earlier this year, which Murphy says have seen "robust demand." The success has fueled interest in other crypto ETFs: "It took about ten years for regulators to be OK with spot bitcoin ETFs. And now, five months in, we're talking about spot ether ETFs," the strategist adds. She says that those looking to get into cryptocurrency should invest in spot ETFs and also points to gold ETFs as a "phenomenal" opportunity to diversify portfolios.
