The United States Oil Fund LP, the largest oil-focused exchange-traded product (ETP) in the country, may begin investing in oil futures contracts expiring in several months, rather than just the front-month and second-month contract, it said in a filing https://bit.ly/2XWrj3L%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B on Wednesday.

U.S. crude markets have been roiled by oversupply and dwindling demand in the wake of diminished economic activity due to the global coronavirus outbreak. Crude storage has grown scarce as a result. Nearer-term contracts are trading at sharply lower prices than later-dated ones, a departure from the norm.

USO was last trading 10.0% lower at $2.53 despite front-month U.S. crude futures’ settling 19.1% higher, at $13.78 a barrel. The fund traded at a steep premium to its net asset value on Tuesday after it suspended the creation of new shares.
