BZ (Brent Crude Oil) · Why linked: Brent is the global benchmark and most exposed to Middle East geopolitical developments. Market context: Diplomatic progress may reduce geopolitical risk premium, pressuring Brent lower.
USO (US Oil Fund) · Why linked: Oil ETF provides broad exposure to crude price moves driven by Iran headlines. Market context: Reduced sanctions risk could weigh on oil prices and the USO NAV.
