USO Hot Sheet
Overall Analyst Rating:
    NEUTRAL (= Flat)
Oil prices rose on speculation that Ida would be a hurricane when it hits land later on this week. The storm has since died down to a tropical depression, boasting winds around 35 MPH.

Speculators expected the shutdown of refineries on the Gulf of Mexico, putting a crimp in oil production. However, there still may be other disruptions, such as flooding and wind damage, that may alter production.

  • United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE: USO) is trading about 0.30% lower to $40.37.
