Oil plummets 20% on peace hopes but supplies are running dry — contrarian long on oil stocks

Oil prices have crashed 20% from their recent peak as investors bet on a ceasefire between the US and Iran, even though an Exxon executive just warned that global oil supplies are approaching critically low levels.

Idea

The market is aggressively pricing in a best-case scenario where the Strait of Hormuz reopens smoothly, completely ignoring the fact that physical oil supplies are dangerously low right now. If the ceasefire gets delayed even slightly, or if those low inventories cause immediate shortages, oil prices could snap back violently. Buying beaten-down oil stocks or oil ETFs offers a cheap way to bet on this supply crunch catching Wall Street off guard.
