A new peace deal between the US and Iran will allow Iranian oil to flow back into the market. At the same time, global demand for energy is falling, pushing oil prices below $80 a barrel.

## Idea

The peace deal means a lot of new oil is about to hit the market, which usually drives prices down. Big banks are already lowering their price forecasts, and the energy market is looking at a glut of supply. On top of that, an agency that tracks global energy just slashed its demand forecast. This combination of more supply and less demand creates a strong headwind for oil-related stocks, making them good candidates for a downward bet.
