Oil tumbles on US-Iran deal framework: How one trader is playing the move
Airline stocks are rallying Monday and the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) is on the verge of a new high for the year.
TL;DR
- A potential deal between Washington and Tehran could involve releasing Iranian funds, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and allowing Iran to sell oil freely.
- This news has led to a fall in oil prices to their lowest levels since April, benefiting airline investors due to expected lower jet fuel costs.
- Airline stocks and the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) are rallying, but the full benefit of lower fuel costs will not be immediate due to market normalization time.
- Technical resistance at prior highs may limit JETS's upward potential, despite some stocks like Delta (DAL) showing strength.
- An advanced trading strategy involves selling a 1-month strangle on JETS, aiming to profit if the ETF stays between $27 and $33 by expiration.
