The United States Oil Fund (USO) could see short-term price movements based on Putin's statement regarding OPEC+'s focus on price stability in the oil market.
As USO tracks the daily price movements of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, Putin's statement aimed at stabilizing oil prices could lead to reduced volatility in USO's price in the short term. However, the actual impact will depend on OPEC+'s actions and global oil demand.
