Oil crashing on Iran peace hopes, airlines soaring — ride the travel rally but keep one foot out the door

Oil prices just fell sharply — over 3% — because investors think a US-Iran peace deal might be close, which would reopen a critical oil shipping route. That's sending airline and travel stocks like Delta, United, and MGM sharply higher.

Idea

Airlines are massive beneficiaries when oil drops because jet fuel is their single biggest expense. Delta, United, and MGM were among the strongest stocks in the entire S&P 500 yesterday as oil slumped more than 5%. The catch is that this whole trade depends on an Iran deal actually happening — and talks are still messy. That means the upside could be big if a deal materializes, but you should use tighter stops than normal because a breakdown in negotiations could reverse the move fast.
