Oil posts worst month in 6 years as Iran deal looms — short energy stocks for more downside

Oil just had its worst month in six years because the U.S. and Iran appear close to a deal that could end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a critical shipping route for global oil. If the deal goes through, a lot of oil will flood back into the market.

Idea

Oil has been crashing for weeks on expectations that a U.S.-Iran deal will end the Strait of Hormuz shutdown and let oil flow freely again. President Trump says a final decision is imminent. If a deal is announced, oil prices could drop sharply as the market prices in millions of barrels returning — and energy stocks like those in XLE will get dragged down with them. Even if the deal is delayed, the trend is clearly pointing lower and there's no sign of a reversal yet.
