DRIP is trading 4.12% down now at $31.73 as stronger crude prices pressure the oil-and-gas producers whose inverse exposure the ETF tracks.

  • Brent crude was reported near $107 on September 15, with supply fears linked to a Saudi pipeline outage.
  • The move supported energy-sector strength and weighed on DRIP; broader markets are cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, but the commodity and energy-sector move remains the clearest explanation.
