Oil crashing on Iran peace deal hopes — short crude oil while the squeeze lasts

Oil prices have fallen 20% from their 2026 high because the U.S. and Iran appear close to a peace deal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz shutdown in February caused a massive energy shock, but Trump now says a 'final determination' on an Iran deal is imminent. If the strait reopens, a huge amount of oil supply suddenly re-enters the market, pushing prices down further. Oil has already dropped 20% from its peak, and momentum is clearly to the downside. Companies and countries that pay for oil benefit, but the commodity itself looks vulnerable as peace-talk headlines keep eroding the risk premium baked into prices.
