Oil slides on Iran peace hopes, travel stocks soar — ride the airline rally

Hopes for a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran sent oil prices down sharply, and travel stocks like Delta and United surged as investors bet cheaper fuel and calmer skies are ahead.

Idea

Oil prices dropped over 3% as the U.S. and Iran edged closer to a deal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route. Cheaper jet fuel goes straight to airlines' bottom lines — fuel is typically their single biggest expense. Delta and United were among the top performers in the S&P 500 on Wednesday, and history shows airline rallies fueled by oil drops tend to run for several weeks as analysts upgrade earnings estimates. The risk is that peace talks collapse and oil rebounds, which would reverse the trade quickly.
