United States Oil Fund LP (USO) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of crude oil and related petroleum-based fuels by investing primarily in futures contracts. Its exposure spans light, sweet crude oil, other crude oil grades, diesel-heating oil, gasoline, natural gas, and other petroleum-based fuels.
As a commodity-focused ETF structured as a limited partnership, USO gains its exposure through derivatives (futures contracts) rather than holding physical barrels of oil. This structure means the funds performance is influenced by futures market dynamics such as contango and roll yields, which are common considerations for oil-tracking funds.
- OPEC+ production cuts tighten global crude oil supply
- Futures contango drag erodes investor returns on contract rolls
- Geopolitical Middle East tensions disrupt crude oil supply chains
