The U.S. and Iran have reportedly reached a deal to extend their ceasefire, which is already pushing oil prices down as the risk of disruptions to Middle East oil supply fades.

## Idea

A credible U.S.-Iran ceasefire takes the war premium out of oil prices — crude was already paring gains on the news. Airlines are one of the most direct beneficiaries of cheaper fuel because jet fuel is their single biggest cost. The relief could be large because oil had spiked earlier this week on U.S. military strikes near Iran. If the truce holds and oil keeps pulling back, airline stocks — which had been dragged down by geopolitical risk — should rebound sharply as their fuel-cost outlook improves.
