Iran peace talks crush oil prices — short oil funds as risk fades

Oil prices have fallen sharply—down 20% from their recent highs—because the U.S. and Iran are getting closer to a peace deal. If the deal happens, a major global oil shipping route will fully reopen, flooding the market with supply.

Idea

The threat of war in the Middle East kept a 'fear premium' baked into oil prices for months. Now that a ceasefire is on the table, that premium is evaporating fast. The Strait of Hormuz is the most critical oil checkpoint in the world, and its reopening means a massive logjam of oil supply will hit the market. As that extra supply floods in, energy prices should continue to slide lower.
