Oil crashing as Iran deal gets closer — short the energy bounce

Oil has fallen 20% from its 2026 high after President Trump signaled a U.S.-Iran peace deal is imminent. If the Strait of Hormuz reopens, the energy shock that sent prices soaring could fully reverse.

Idea

Oil prices have already dropped 20% from their peak, and the president is publicly saying a final Iran deal is coming. If the Strait of Hormuz — the world's most critical oil shipping lane — reopens after being shut since February, the supply shock that drove prices up unwinds quickly. Energy stocks like Chevron and the broad oil ETF (USO) still price in some blockade risk, so there's room to fall further if a deal materializes. The trend is clearly pointing down, and a diplomatic breakthrough would accelerate it.
