Investors Rush to Exit Oil Bear Fund Amid Crude Price Collapse
An exchange-traded product (ETP) linked to oil price declines has experienced its largest outflow since 2020.
Investors have been pulling funds out of the bear fund, seeking to cash in on profits, as crude prices plummet to their lowest levels in four years.
Oil has been under intense pressure, triggered by a combination of OPEC+ increasing output and U.S. President Donald Trump’s new trade policies, which have targeted key crude-importing nations like China and India. As a result, New York oil futures have fallen for four consecutive days and are trading near the lowest point since 2021.
With the market turmoil and unpredictable policy shifts, investor sentiment is shifting rapidly. Many traders who had bet on declining oil prices are now securing profits, signaling caution in the face of ongoing volatility in the crude market.
