Commodities have experienced a rough year as the global economy continues to struggle to regain its footing. Since the beginning of the year, the PowerShares DB Commodity Tracking Index ETF ( DBC A ) has fallen nearly 20%, with the biggest losses coming from coffee, oats, and energy-related commodities. The only positive returns among non-financial commodities were cocoa and canola, which jumped around 10% throughout 2015. Investors looking for the next commodity sweet spot may want to take a closer look at sugar, which has jumped more than 17% over the past month.
