Iran peace deal opens oil shipping lanes — short oil as prices slump

A new peace deal between the US and Iran means oil tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz again. With the threat of a supply cut gone, oil prices are dropping sharply.

Idea

Oil prices had been artificially inflated by the geopolitical risk of a war blocking the world's most important shipping lane. With that lane reopening and oil flowing freely again, that risk premium is evaporating and prices have to adjust lower to match the new reality of ample supply. We want to bet against oil prices by shorting them as long as the recent downward trend holds.
