Oil prices have crashed below $80 a barrel, hitting a three-month low. A newly drafted peace deal between the US and Iran is expected to reopen shipping routes and unleash a flood of new oil supply onto the global market.

## Idea

The US-Iran deal is a game-changer for oil because it gives Iran the green light to sell oil immediately and tap into a massive development fund. Top Wall Street banks are already slashing their price forecasts as this new supply is expected to hit the market. With prices down 15% over just four sessions, the downward pressure is likely to continue as supply outpaces demand.
