NEUTRAL IMPACT
The United States Oil Fund (USO) may be indirectly affected by the outcome of the Israel-Hamas negotiations due to potential impacts on global oil prices.
While USO, which tracks the price of West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude oil, is not directly related to the geopolitical situation in Israel, any significant developments in the Middle East can have ripple effects on global oil markets.
