Strait of Hormuz tensions and falling oil reserves — buy U.S. oil producers
Created
Thesis
The Iran war continues to cause major disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil. At the same time, U.S. crude storage levels are dropping toward a critical threshold. When supply gets this tight and demand remains steady, oil prices typically surge. American energy companies like Chevron are positioned to capture massive profits from these rising prices.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long USO on the daily timeframe when the price closes above the 20-day simple moving average and the 14-day RSI is above 60. Exit the position if the price closes below the 10-day simple moving average, or apply a 5% trailing stop.
