NEUTRAL IMPACT
The SPY ETF, which tracks the S&P 500, may experience indirect effects from the EIA's report on Permian Basin oil production due to its holdings in energy sector companies.
While the SPY ETF is diversified across various sectors, the energy sector's performance, influenced by oil production numbers, can impact the ETF's overall performance. However, the change in production is relatively small, and SPY's broad diversification dilutes the impact of sector-specific news.

The United States Oil Fund (USO), which tracks the price of crude oil, may be directly impacted by the EIA's report indicating a slight increase in oil production in the Permian Basin.
