This ETF gives investors an opportunity to achieve exposure to uranium, an important mineral that currently is inaccessible via futures. For investors looking to bet on increased demand for a raw material used widely in power production, URA is a nice option. URA often trades as a leveraged play on the underlying natural resources, meaning that this fund can experience significant volatility but can be a powerful tool for profiting from a surge in commodity prices.

WTI:DXY comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entire basket of currencies, not just USD itself. Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop is on a relative basis. To put it in perspective, the WTI during $147 peak was 205% the DXY, and now it is just 12%!! (8% at the lows if you count that)…. needless to say this is a generational low. the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is a light, sweet crude oil that serves as one of the main global oil benchmarks. It is sourced primarily from inland Texas and is one of the highest quality oils in the world, which is easy to refine. WTI is the underlying commodity for the NYMEX’s oil futures contract. WTI is known as a light sweet oil because it contains around 0.34% sulfur, making it “sweet,” and has a low density (specific gravity), making it “light.”1
