Call option volume on the United States Oil Fund (USO), the largest ETF tracking WTI crude oil futures, surged this week. The increase in activity follows recent escalations in the Middle East, which have contributed to heightened volatility in the oil market. USO options are now pricing just shy of a 4% move into Friday. The spike in call volumes is seen as a reaction to the geopolitical tensions and the potential impact on oil supply. The call resistance is noted as a big CTA trigger level.
