The US and Iran reached a peace deal, causing the stock market to surge and oil prices to drop to a three-month low. Cheaper oil is great for consumers and businesses because it lowers costs.

## Idea

Oil prices just crashed to a three-month low because a major war ended and a key shipping route is reopening. When suddenly cheap oil floods the market, it usually takes weeks for supply and demand to balance out. Oil companies and oil-tracking funds will likely see their stock prices drift lower as investors adjust to the new reality of lower energy prices. Betting against oil-tracking funds right after a massive peace-driven price drop is a way to ride that downward momentum until the dust settles.
