Dow futures jumped 500 points on news of a U.S. peace plan for Iran. The peace plan is unrealistic and will be rejected by Iran, meaning the market's relief rally is built on false hopes. Short the broader market (Dow/DIA) as reality sets in and volatility returns. Iran actually agrees to negotiations, or other macroeconomic factors sustain the rally.

Oil prices dropped due to the reported U.S. peace plan. Because the peace plan has "zero" chance of being accepted, the geopolitical risk premium on oil should not be removed. Go long on oil as the conflict continues and supply risks remain. A surprise ceasefire agreement or global demand destruction lowers oil prices.
