A deal between the U.S. and Iran has ships moving through a critical oil route again. This is pushing developing market stocks to all-time highs because cheaper global oil acts like a tax cut for their economies.

## Idea

When a major shipping bottleneck clears up, the countries that rely heavily on imported energy get a massive financial break. That extra cash flows straight into corporate profits and consumer spending. Investors are already piling into emerging market funds as a result. By buying a broad emerging markets fund, you can capture the broader optimism without having to pick a single winning country.
