Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2x Shares (GUSH) News Today

Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares (NYSEARCA: GUSH) has increased recently as geopolitical risks raise the possibility of crude-oil supply disruptions. However, weaker demand, rising U.S. inventories and fading escalation concerns are limiting the rally. Because GUSH seeks roughly 2x the daily performance of an oil-and-gas exploration and production index, movements in crude prices can produce amplified gains or losses.

• Positive Sentiment: Reports of oil slicks in Iranian waters and a worsening spill near Oman, combined with attacks on tankers in the Gulf region, are increasing concern about supply interruptions and supporting oil prices. Two slicks appear in Gulf as huge oil spill off Oman threatens disaster
