Oil tankers rerouting around the Iran war — play the Suez Canal boom with Egypti
Created
Thesis
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is forcing global shipping traffic to reroute through the Suez Canal, increasing traffic and revenue for Egypt. This unexpected geographic bottleneck translates directly into higher fees and economic activity for the region. Because this is a structural shift forced by an ongoing military conflict, the revenue boost is likely to persist as long as the war does. Egyptian assets, often overlooked by mainstream investors, could see sustained upward pressure as a direct beneficiary of these geopolitical supply chain shifts.
Strategy approach
Build a mean-reversion strategy for EGPT (iShares MSCI Egypt ETF) on a daily timeframe. Enter a long position when the price closes above its 20-day simple moving average and the RSI(14) is between 50 and 65, indicating strengthening but not overbought momentum. Set a stop-loss at 3% below the 10-day moving average, and take profit when the price reaches a 4:1 reward-to-risk ratio or after a 15-day holding period.
