United States Oil Overview

The United States Oil Fund^® LP (USO) is an exchange-traded security that is designed to track the daily price movements of light, sweet crude oil. USO issues share that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca.

USO’s investment objective is for the daily changes, in percentage terms, of its shares’ net asset value (NAV) to reflect the daily changes, in percentage terms, of the spot price of light sweet crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma, as measured by the daily changes in the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract plus interest earned on USO’s collateral holdings, less USO’s expenses. USO seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing so that the average daily percentage change in USO’s NAV, for any period of 30 successive valuation days, will be within plus/minus 10% of the average daily percentage change in the price of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract over the same period.

AN INVESTMENT IN USO SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS AN INVESTMENT IN THE BENCHMARK OIL FUTURES CONTRACT OR LIGHT SWEET CRUDE OIL.

WHILE INVESTING IN USO INVOLVES RISKS SIMILAR TO THOSE INVOLVED WITH AN INVESTMENT DIRECTLY IN THE OIL MARKET, USO IS NOT A PROXY FOR TRADING DIRECTLY IN THE OIL MARKETS AND THESE RISKS ARE REAL.

The Benchmark Oil Futures Contract is the futures contract for light, sweet crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma that is traded on the NYMEX that is the near month contract to expire and changes, over a ten-day period, into the NYMEX futures contract that is the next month to expire. The change from the near month contract to the next month contract occurs at the beginning of each month and will be approximately proportional, relative to total net assets, over each day of the ten-day roll period.

USO currently invests in oil futures contracts and over-the-counter swaps. USO's holdings are available on its website. USO seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in futures contracts that are traded on the NYMEX, ICE Futures Europe and ICE Futures U.S. or other exchanges. To a lesser extent, USO may invest in other oil-related investments including, without limitation, swaps and forwards, in order to comply with regulatory requirements, risk mitigation measures taken by USO or others, liquidity requirements, or in view of market conditions. Market conditions that USCF currently anticipates could cause USO to invest in other oil-related investments include, but are not limited to, those allowing USO to obtain greater liquidity or to execute transactions with more favorable pricing. These investments will be collateralized by cash, cash equivalents, and US government obligations with remaining maturities of 2 years or less.

Rolling 30-Day Average Difference between USO’s NAV and the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract

USO’s investment objective is for the daily changes, in percentage terms, of its shares’ NAV to reflect the daily changes, in percentage terms, of the spot price of light sweet crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma, as measured by the daily changes in the Benchmark Futures Contract, plus interest earned on USO's collateral holdings, less USO's expenses. USO seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing so that for the average daily percentage change in USO’s net asset value, for any period of 30 successive valuation days, will be within plus/minus 10% of the average daily percentage change in the price of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract over the same period. As a result, investors should be aware that USO would meet its investment objective even if there are significant deviations between changes in its daily NAV and changes in the daily price of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract provided that the average daily percentage change in the USO's NAV over 30 successive valuation days is within plus/minus 10% of the average daily percentage change in the price of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract over the same period.

The following chart shows, for the period between April 1, 2025 - June 30, 2025, the rolling 30-day average difference between USO’s net asset value and the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract. This is measured by subtracting the return of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract from the return on USO’s net asset value for each of the last thirty business days, and then averaging those thirty differences. The calculation is repeated daily.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Investment return and value of the Fund shares will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.

The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported NAV. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The horizontal axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.

^* A basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%.

The amount of the discount or premium in the trading price of USO relative to USO’s NAV per share may be influenced by various factors including, among other things, the number of investors who seek to purchase or sell shares in the secondary market, availability of Creation Baskets, the liquidity of the oil futures, and the market for Other Oil-Related Investments.
