Commodities are a high\u002Drisk proposition, but strong performance is luring new takers
Droughts in Brazil are sparking double-digit gains in coffee futures, threatening the price of everyone’s daily caffeine fix.

And the strong performance in commodities is drawing the attention of retail investors looking to get in on the action.
