Oil posting worst month in 6 years as Iran deal nears — short crude on any ceasefire confirmation

Oil prices are suffering their worst month in six years as President Trump signals the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran that could end the conflict and reopen critical shipping routes. A final decision is expected imminently.

Idea

Oil is wrapping up its worst month in six years, and the selling may not be over. The Iran war in February shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the world's most important oil shipping route — causing a massive energy shock. Now Trump says a deal is imminent, which would reopen those lanes and remove the fear premium baked into crude prices. When geopolitical tensions that spiked oil start to resolve, the unwind tends to be sharp and sustained as traders rush to exit positions that were built on crisis assumptions.
