Crude oil prices have hit $80 per barrel, marking a five-week winning streak, the longest in over a year and a half. This surge is attributed to supply reduction efforts by Saudi Arabia and Russia, and increased demand due to Chinese economic revival efforts and the U.S.'s commitment to refill its Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Five oil-linked ETFs are recommended for investors to ride this wave: United States Oil Fund (USO), Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH), Proshares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil (UCO), and Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod.
