NEGATIVE IMPACT
The USO ETF, which tracks crude oil prices, could see short-term volatility due to the unexpected build in distillate stocks, as it directly relates to oil market dynamics.
Since USO tracks crude oil prices, an unexpected build in distillate stocks suggests potential oversupply or weaker demand, which could negatively impact oil prices and thus USO's performance in the short term.

The SPY ETF, which tracks the S&P 500, may experience indirect effects due to the unexpected build in distillate stocks, as energy sector performance influences overall market sentiment.

The UNG ETF, which tracks natural gas, is not directly impacted by the distillate stocks report, as it focuses on a different segment of the energy market.
The UNG ETF's focus on natural gas means that its performance is generally unrelated to changes in oil distillate stocks, making the impact of the report minimal on UNG.
