Oil prices crash as Iran peace deal reopens shipping lanes — short oil and energy funds

A major shipping route for global oil is reopening after a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran. Because the world was cut off from this oil during the fighting, prices spiked, but now that the conflict is over, oil prices are tumbling back down.

Idea

Oil prices had a 'war premium' baked in because the Strait of Hormuz was blocked. With the fighting stopping and tankers able to flow freely again, that sudden shortage is gone. U.S. crude prices have already crashed below $80 a barrel for the first time since March. Energy companies that rely on high oil prices for profits will likely see their stock prices drag as the market adjusts to cheaper oil.
