ETF SLV 会像USO 当年一样吗?银实体价格哪儿可以查?
What did happen to USO:
-
April 2020 oil crash ?
When WTI oil futures briefly went negative, USO got into serious trouble:-
Huge losses due to contango
-
Position limits from the CFTC
-
Risk of not being able to roll futures properly
-
-
Emergency actions (but not bankruptcy)
USO:-
Changed its strategy (spread holdings across later-dated futures)
-
Temporarily stopped issuing new shares
-
Later resumed creations
-
Did a 1-for-8 reverse split in June 2020 (often mistaken as “collapse”)
-
-
ETF structure matters
USO holds oil futures, not oil itself. Even if oil goes to zero or negative:-
The ETF can lose massive value
-
But it doesn’t “go bankrupt” like a company
-
It would only liquidate if the sponsor chose to shut it down
-
