Why USO matters

Tracks the price of crude oil (WTI). Goes up when there's war risk in the Middle East, goes down when OPEC pumps more. The purest geopolitical trade.

Energy stocks move with oil prices, which move with geopolitical events — wars, OPEC decisions, sanctions. Understanding energy stocks means understanding global power.
