Peace deal with Iran finally in sight — short oil as prices get ready to drop
The U.S. and Iran are reportedly on the verge of signing a peace agreement within days. This deal is expected to reopen a critical global shipping route for oil, which means the world's oil supply should increase significantly.
Idea
The war in Iran has kept oil prices high because a massive portion of the world's oil has to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. With a peace deal imminent, this major bottleneck is about to reopen, which will let a lot more oil flow to the global market. Basic economics suggests that a huge increase in supply will cause the price of oil to drop. Because oil prices have been artificially inflated by war fears, an end to the conflict should trigger a rapid move back toward lower, pre-war prices.
