The United States Oil Fund (USO) may experience short-term negative pressure due to the larger-than-expected build in distillate stocks reported by the EIA, as this could indicate lower demand for oil and fuel products.
The United States Oil Fund (USO) tracks the price of oil and is therefore sensitive to changes in oil supply and demand dynamics. A significant build in distillate stocks suggests a potential oversupply or weakening demand, which can lead to lower oil prices and negatively impact USO's share price in the short term.
