Oil’s blistering rally and crypto’s stumble made the first quarter of 2026 feel like a regime change rather than a routine quarter.

In fact, USO gained 55.3% in March alone, marking its best monthly performance in history, and Q1 was the fund’s best quarterly performance ever, according to Benzinga Pro data.  

Q1 Winners
