Airlines and hotels surging on Iran peace hopes — ride the travel rally
Hopes for a peace deal between the US and Iran sent oil prices down more than 5% on Wednesday. That's great news for airlines and travel companies, since cheaper jet fuel directly boosts their profits.
Idea
Oil is the single biggest cost for airlines, and it just dropped over 5% on signs the US and Iran may be nearing a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Delta, United, and MGM were among the S&P 500's top performers Wednesday as investors piled into travel names. Even though a deal isn't finalized yet, the market is clearly pricing in the possibility — and if an agreement actually materializes, these stocks likely have further to climb. The risk is that peace talks stall and oil rebounds, so keep stops tight.
