The Trump administration is weighing a $300 billion incentive fund for Iran, contingent on Tehran's compliance with nuclear commitments and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open to shipping. A formal peace deal is reportedly scheduled to be signed this Sunday. The proposal represents one of the most significant potential shifts in U.S.-Iran relations in decades.
An open Strait of Hormuz is critical infrastructure for roughly 20% of global oil supply — a deal that guarantees passage removes a persistent geopolitical risk premium baked into crude prices. Energy stocks and oil ETFs could reprice sharply lower on reduced supply-disruption fears, while airlines and transport-heavy sectors stand to benefit from cheaper fuel. Conversely, a credible deal that holds could weigh on oil producers like XOM and CVX.
This Sunday: Scheduled Iran peace deal signing. Following weeks: Congressional and IAEA reaction to deal terms. Next OPEC+ meeting: monitor for supply response to any Iran sanctions relief.
