I mentioned earlier that both the U.S. and Iran can’t keep stalling anymore. One is dealing with midterm elections and domestic inflation, while the other has inflation that’s already off the charts. So it looks like action is about to happen, and there might be an escalation in military conflict. Right now, shorting should factor in the potential impact of the conflict.
At the moment, I’ve set up a short on CLUSDT, which is WTI, at $86. There’s roughly a $2 expected range here. I’ve also shorted BZUSDT, which is Brent, at $91, with about the same $2 range. Plus, it’s clear that the price gap between Brent and WTI has widened to over $6. In this situation, shorting Brent offers a bigger opportunity.
Since Trump’s recent statements don’t seem to suggest the U.S. is planning to ramp up its offensive, and Trump himself mentioned Iran’s inflation hitting 300%, it seems the U.S. is leaning more toward delaying and observing for now. That’s the temporary strategy for now.
