USO is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund structured as a limited partnership that seeks to track the price of crude oil and related petroleum products. The fund achieves this primarily through investments in futures contracts covering light, sweet crude oil, other crude oil grades, diesel-heating oil, gasoline, natural gas, and other petroleum-based fuels.
As a commodities-focused ETF in the energy sector, USO offers investors exposure to oil and refined fuel markets without the need to trade futures directly. Commodity ETFs that use futures contracts typically face structural considerations such as contango and backwardation, which can affect the funds ability to track spot oil prices over longer holding periods. The fund launched in April 2006 and is listed on the NYSE.

- Contango and roll yield drag erodes fund returns during oversupply
