Oil crashes on peace deal but expert says shipping won't normalize for months — contrarian buy on Exxon and Chevron

Oil prices just crashed because the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, but one of the world's top oil experts, Jeff Currie, warns it will take months for the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lane to actually get back to normal.

Idea

Markets always overreact to the headlines. Everyone is dumping oil stocks today assuming the ceasefire means cheap oil is here to stay. But if the shipping lane doesn't actually normalize until the end of the year like the experts predict, the panic selling is overdone. Oil prices likely overshot to the downside and energy stocks are currently too cheap, setting up a contrarian bounce as reality sets in over the next few weeks.
