Oil prices in a free fall — short crude oil on the Iran peace deal
Oil prices are plunging this week because a new peace deal is reopening key shipping lanes. This means more oil supply is hitting the market just as the global economy might be slowing down.

The resolution of the Iran situation is flooding the market with new oil supply. At the same time, fears of rising interest rates suggest factories and consumers will use less energy. This double-whammy of more supply and less demand points to even lower prices in the near term.
