Description & usage

United States Oil Fund is a commodity fund that seeks to reflect oil price movements, typically using futures contracts. Exposure is achieved through futures positions and the regular rolling of contracts rather than holding physical oil. It is used by market participants looking for exchange-traded access to oil price changes, generally tied to U.S.-traded benchmarks. Results can be affected by roll yield and the shape of the futures curve in addition to spot price moves.
