I said last week that agricultural commodities were waiting for a major breakout that could release the Kraken across inflation assets.

We have it.

DBA has broken above the same ceiling that capped every rally since early 2025, with volume expanding into the breakout. Precious metals and industrial commodities had already started to move. Agriculture was the missing piece. It is no longer missing.

This is where the feedback loop gets ugly. Higher agricultural prices add to food inflation, push inflation expectations higher, and put more pressure on long-end yields. The longer DBA holds this breakout, the harder it becomes for Washington to pretend the inflation problem is contained.

For those already riding the move, trail your stops and protect the gains. For those feeling FOMO, don't chase the first weekly breakout candle. The cleaner entry is a successful backtest of the breakout level.

Technical

DBA has broken above 28.4 on the weekly chart with expanding volume. As long as 28.4 holds, the path of least resistance remains higher. A sustained move back below 28.4 invalidates the breakout and puts DBA back inside the prior range.
