Idea
With a 60-day ceasefire extension looking likely, the geopolitical 'fear premium' is being drained from oil prices. Brent crude is already posting its worst monthly slide in years as the threat to global shipping lanes fades. Because energy companies are highly sensitive to oil prices, a continued drop in crude could push major oil stocks lower as well.
