Oil tanking on Iran peace deal — short energy as the war premium evaporates

Oil prices just posted their biggest monthly drop in six years because the U.S. and Iran are reportedly close to a peace deal. If the conflict ends, the global oil supply will open back up, which usually pushes prices even lower.

Idea

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz earlier this year caused a major energy shock, but peace talks are now rapidly driving oil prices down. President Trump says a final decision is imminent, which could completely remove the 'war premium' built into energy costs. As the market prices in this new access to supply, oil stocks and funds are likely to keep falling. A simple way to profit is by shorting a broad oil fund as the geopolitical tension continues to unwind.
