Deposit is linked to the agricultural raw material price indices. Why?
Food is essential for human existence. With limited Earth resources and population growth demand for agricultural raw materials is growing. Raw materials are the traditional way to hedge against inflation, therefore, rising inflation expectations will have a positive impact on agricultural raw material prices. Wheat, corn and livestock are one of the most important agricultural raw materials,that is why their price indices are linked to this deposit with additional interest.
What determines changes of the agricultural raw material prices?
Agricultural raw material market is more dependent on surrounding markets and external factors than other markets. A significant part of these cultivated crops is used to produce bio-fuel, therefore, prices of energy resources may affect the demand for these crops. Market behaviour is also influenced by the fact that a large part of the crops used for feed and they can be easily replaced by other depending on the economic factors. Therefore, raw material prices are closely interrelated.

Agricultural raw material price indices linked to additional interest
Wheat - one of the world's major grain crops about two-thirds of which are consumed for food. Changes in wheat (together with corn) prices often influence prices of other nutritional raw materials.
Corn - exceptional nutritional crop a large part of which is used not for food but by industry. Almost 60% of the world's corn is used for feed, more than a quarter - for industrial use (mainly for production of bio-ethanol).
Livestock - one of the major nutritional raw materials. Most livestock is grown and their meat consumed in the United States (about one-fifth of the world's livestock). Consistently growing meat consumption in China is making a significant impact on the market has (livestock consumption here has increased by almost one fifth over 5 years).
