Peace breaks out, oil prices tumble — short oil majors and energy ETFs
The US and Iran just reached a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This means the threat to the world's oil supply is gone, causing the price of oil to drop sharply.
Idea
The peace agreement removes the immediate risk of an oil supply disruption, which has caused the price of crude to drop to a three-month low. As the world's oil freely flows through the Strait of Hormuz again, the premium investors were paying for geopolitical fear is evaporating. Oil producers like Exxon and Chevron usually see their stock prices follow the price of crude downward when this happens.
