Event summary
The VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) has surged 51% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the S&P 500, due to escalating oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East. Key oil services companies like Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes have seen substantial gains from increased demand for their services. However, future growth may depend on structural demands like LNG and data centers, as recent crude oil price declines suggest the "war premium" might fade.
