POSITIVE IMPACT
The United States Oil Fund (USO) may be impacted by the larger than expected draw in crude stock reported by API.
The United States Oil Fund (USO) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light, sweet crude oil. A larger than expected draw in crude stock indicates higher demand or lower supply, which could lead to an increase in oil prices. This could potentially benefit USO as it tracks the price of oil.
