Returns for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $15.54 per Share to $15.87 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and related change from the Share price on March 31, 2024 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $14.50 per Share (-6.66%) on June 4, 2024 and a high of $16.12 per Share (+3.73%) on April 15, 2024. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +2.12%.
Current report
Crude oil experienced a small loss in the second quarter of 2024. While some of that loss was driven by broader risk off sentiment due to the repeated delays of Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, other drivers included fading geopolitical risk premium, US crude inventory builds due to unplanned refinery outages and unattractive refining margins, and OPEC announcing plans to gradually bring back barrels later this year. While OPEC also announced an extension of some cuts, this was largely expected and had a minimal impact on prices.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $14.58 per Share to $14.13 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and related change from the Share price on March 31, 2023 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $13.32 per Share (-8.64%) on May 3, 2023 and a high of $15.64 per Share (+7.27%) on April 12, 2023. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -3.09%.
Current report
In the second quarter of 2023, crude oil prices were pressured by the slower than expected recovery in China and recession concerns driven by US Federal Reserve policy, banking sector stress, and political controversy surrounding the US debt ceiling, fueling a broader risk-off sentiment. Russian oil supplies also continued to flow despite the ban on imports in some countries which contributed to increased oil supply. Further, higher interest rates led to higher storage costs, which resulted in a great deal of both financial and physical destocking.
Current report
Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.0 million, primarily resulting from $3.2 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $1.8 million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $(0.6) million and net operating expenses of $0.4 million.

Current report
Fund Share Price Performance
Current report
Crude oil prices ended the first two quarters of 2023 in negative territory. While prices oscillated during the first quarter on crude inventory builds, Federal Reserve rate hike concerns, the Russian “production cut”, mandated US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) releases, and some optimistic signs out of China, losses were extended in the second quarter. Headwinds from the disappointing recovery in China and recession concerns driven by US Federal Reserve policy, banking sector stress, and political controversy surrounding the US debt ceiling continued to blow hard, while Russian oil supplies continued to make their way onto the market adding to oil inventories. Front month crude oil prices were down over 8% year to date.

Previous report
Crude oil posted negative performance in the first quarter of 2023. Prices ping-ponged between gains and losses in January and February on crude inventory builds (due to seasonal refinery maintenance and strong production), Federal Reserve interest rate hike concerns, the five hundred thousand barrel per day (kb/d) Russian “production cut”, mandated US Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases, and optimistic signs out of China. However, broader financial sector fears pushed crude prices into negative territory in the first half of March.

The section “Summary of the DBIQ-OY CL TR™ and Underlying Index Commodity Returns for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023” below provides an overview of the changes in the closing levels of the DBIQ-OY CL TR™ by disclosing the change in market value of the underlying component Index Commodity through a “surrogate” (and analogous) index that also reflects 3-month United States Treasury Obligations returns. Please note also that the Fund’s objective is to track the Index (not the DBIQ-OY CL TR™), and the Fund does not attempt to outperform or underperform the Index. The Index employs the optimum yield roll method with the objective of mitigating the negative effects of contango, the condition in which distant delivery prices for futures exceed spot prices, and maximizing the positive effects of backwardation, a condition opposite of contango.

Previous wording
Crude oil prices gained in the first quarter of 2024 as escalating tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine raised supply disruption risk. In addition to geopolitics, an improving macro backdrop amid a resilient US economy and expected Federal Reserve easing also supported broader risk assets like energy. Furthermore, the extended OPEC+ production cuts also helped to tighten global balances, providing a sturdy floor for prices.
Current wording
Crude oil performed positively in the first half of 2024. Prices gained as escalating tensions in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine raised supply concerns, ending the first half of the year up around 15%. In addition to geopolitics, an improving macro backdrop amid a resilient US economy, and expected Federal Reserve easing also supported broader risk assets like energy. However, this tailwind eased in the second quarter as the Federal Reserve stuck to its higher for longer rhetoric amid persistent inflation, weighing down the entire energy complex. Other factors like fading geopolitical risk premium, US inventory builds and OPEC’s production plans also played a role.
