Oil posting worst month in 6 years as Iran deal nears — short energy stocks riding the breakdown
Oil prices just posted their worst month in six years as President Trump signals the U.S. is on the verge of a deal with Iran — which could end the conflict that has disrupted global oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz since February.
Idea
Oil has been in freefall because a U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz — the chokepoint where roughly a fifth of the world's oil passes. Brent crude just had its worst month in six years, and the selling accelerated after Trump said a 'final determination' is coming. Energy stocks like Chevron and the broader XLE energy ETF tend to track oil prices closely, and they often fall even harder than crude itself because shrinking oil prices compress profit margins across the sector.
