The United States Oil Fund, LP (USO) closed at $161.89 on September 16, 2026, marking a 3.35% gain over the prior 24 hours. The move extended a notable streak of strength for the oil-tracking exchange-traded fund.

Over the past seven days, USO has advanced 10.86%, reflecting sustained upward momentum in the underlying commodity market. The fund, which tracks the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures, has been among the stronger-performing ETFs in recent sessions.

The 30-day picture is even more striking, with USO posting a gain of 27.88% over that period. That magnitude of appreciation over a single month underscores a significant shift in oil market conditions during the stretch leading up to Wednesday's close.

No market capitalization figure was available for the fund as of this report. Investors tracking energy commodities have closely watched USO as a barometer of short-term oil price direction given its direct linkage to front-month crude futures contracts.
