Oil crashing 20% on Iran peace hopes — ride the energy slide lower

Oil prices have plunged 20% from their 2026 peak as President Trump signals the U.S. is close to a ceasefire deal with Iran, which could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease the global energy crunch.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz closure in February triggered a massive oil spike, but Trump now says a 'final determination' on Iran is imminent. If a deal happens, the chokepoint reopens and the supply shock unwinds — pushing oil even lower. Energy stocks like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to track crude prices closely, so they could fall further as oil keeps sliding. The 20% drop from the peak may only be the beginning if a formal ceasefire materializes.
