A major Wall Street bank just slashed its oil price predictions because the new peace deal between the US and Iran will reopen a critical shipping route, flooding the market with more oil supply.

## Idea

The US-Iran peace agreement reopens the Strait of Hormuz, which means a massive amount of oil supply is coming back to a market that was already well-stocked. When supply goes up and demand stays the same, prices tend to fall. Major oil producers like Exxon and Chevron rely on high oil prices to boost their profits, so their stock prices usually drop right alongside the price of crude oil.
