OIH in Focus

VanEck Vectors Oil Services ETF offers exposure to companies involved in oil services to the upstream oil sector, including oil equipment, oil services or oil drilling. It charges investors 35 basis points a year in fees (see: all the Energy ETFs here).

Why the Move?

The energy sector has been an area to watch lately given an oil price surge buoyed by supply disruptions and unprecedented demand. Oil price has been on the rise and is approaching $100 per barrel. The geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and frigid weather heightened concerns over tight energy supply amid increasing demand.

More Gains Ahead?

Currently, OIH has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a High-risk outlook. Therefore, it is hard to get a handle on its future returns one way or the other. However, many of the segments that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
