Put activity surges in oil and gas ETF optionMONSTER – 37 minutes ago SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Fund is seeing heavy put buying as the stock pulls back from resistance. The XOP exchange-traded fund is down 1.84 percent to trade at $60.20. Yesterday it again pushed against resistance around $61.50 that has been in place since July as shares remain in an uptrend from support around $49 least seen in mid-December.
