Oil having its worst month in 6 years as Iran deal nears — bet on lower energy prices

Oil is crashing — Brent crude just posted its worst month in six years — because President Trump says the U.S. is on the verge of a deal with Iran that could end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Idea

The Iran conflict has been propping up oil prices since February by choking off the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil shipping lane. Now Trump is publicly saying a deal is imminent, and the market is pricing in a ceasefire and reopened shipping routes. Brent crude just had its biggest monthly drop in six years — and if a deal actually materializes, the flood of supply back into the market could push prices even lower. This is a bet that the downward trend in energy has more room to run.
