Peace in the Middle East    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Let&#8217;s start with the obvious: why oil prices are dropping at all today. Over the weekend, President Trump announced he has reached a peace deal with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz will open toll-free, and the U.S. naval blockade on Iran will simultaneously cease, and &#8220;oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Statements from Iran confirm the peace deal and that fighting will cease &#8220;immediately and permanently.&#8221; Oil investors are selling their shares in anticipation that greater oil supplies will rebalance supply with demand, causing prices &#8212; and profits &#8212; to drop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This may be exactly what happens next.<\/p>\n<p>      What this means for ConocoPhillips    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Or it may not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Media reports on the peace deal, which won&#8217;t be officially signed until Friday, conflict or omit multiple details, for example, on how (or if) Iran&#8217;s stockpiles of enriched uranium will be seized and disposed of, and whether the U.S. will pay reparations or unfreeze Iranian foreign assets as part of the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Until these details are firmed up &#8212; and acted upon &#8212; it&#8217;s difficult to call the conflict really over. And there&#8217;s always the possibility that a peace deal will be violated and the Strait will be bottled up all over again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Long story short, oil prices and Conoco&#8217;s stock price are both down today. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/research\/how-war-affects-stocks\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=5ab991e0-d125-4980-aff0-209299a20fa3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:There&#039;s no guarantee either one will stay down for long;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;There&#039;&quot;}\" class=\"link \">There&#8217;s no guarantee either one will stay down for long<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>         Missed Nvidia in 2009?
