A peace deal between the US and Iran has reopened a critical shipping route for oil. With fuel costs expected to drop, stock markets in developing countries just hit all-time highs.

## Idea

The US-Iran peace deal is reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which means oil can flow freely again and gas prices should come down. When energy gets cheaper, developing economies get a huge boost because they are the most sensitive to fuel costs. Bloomberg reports that emerging-market stocks just touched record highs on this exact news. Since the deal is just taking effect, the momentum in these markets likely has room to run as lower oil prices ripple through the global economy over the coming weeks.
