Iran ceasefire deflating oil's war premium — short energy names still riding the highs

Oil is having its worst month since 2020 as the US and Iran move toward a 60-day ceasefire extension. If the Strait of Hormuz reopens fully, a huge chunk of the war-driven oil premium could vanish.

Idea

Brent crude is on track for its biggest monthly drop in six years because the geopolitical risk premium built into oil prices is deflating fast. A 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran means oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical shipping chokepoint — could normalize, adding supply to the market. While some analysts say oil won't crash back to $60, the immediate direction is clearly down as war fears fade. Energy stocks tend to follow oil prices closely, so the pullback likely isn't done yet.
