OPEC+ Production Increase: Oil-focused ETFs, particularly the USO and BNO, faced significant losses this week due to OPEC+'s announcement of a production increase of 547,000 barrels per day starting in September, raising concerns about an oversupplied market.
Impact on Different ETFs: While futures-heavy ETFs suffered declines of over 5%, equity-based funds like XLE and OIH showed more resilience, losing only around 1.7%, as they are expected to benefit from increased drilling activity amidst rising geopolitical tensions.
