Strait of Hormuz blocked, tankers rerouting — accumulate Suez Canal exposure via
Created
Thesis
With the US and Iran actively exchanging strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most vital oil chokepoints is paralyzed. Oil tankers are already redirecting through the Suez Canal, driving its revenue to the highest level since early 2024. If the military conflict continues, Egypt stands to collect massive, ongoing toll fees from this diverted traffic. Buying an Egypt-focused ETF captures this direct financial windfall.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long EGPT on H4 when price closes above the 20-day EMA and RSI(14) crosses above 60, with a 21-day max hold and a 4% trailing stop.
