The story

Iran state TV reports a draft deal with the US that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, extending an already sharp oil selloff with WTI falling roughly 3%. If the deal holds, a material risk premium that has been embedded in crude prices since escalation fears peaked would unwind further, pressuring oil-linked equities and benefiting transport/consumer names.

Short XOP into continued geopolitical risk-premium bleed as a credible US-Iran Hormuz deal drains the war-risk bid from crude and E&P names.

The house read

Wrong ifDeal collapses, Iran walks back the report, or a new provocation (military strike, tanker seizure) reignites the risk premium and triggers a sharp crude reversal — stop on a daily close back above pre-drop XOP levels.
