Sector ReportEquitiesCommoditiesRates Govt BondsEnergyUtilities

J.P. Morgan specialist sales suggests positioning for an imminent Iran deal by taking profits in conflict-driven winners like upstream oils and rotating into beaten-down airports and toll roads.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.An imminent Iran peace deal is expected, potentially as soon as the upcoming Memorial Day long weekend.
  • 2.Investors should take profits in 'conflict winners' (Upstream Oils, Refiners, and Utility Generators) and rotate into 'conflict losers' (Airports, Toll Roads, and Technip Energies).
  • 3.Economic pressure from rising US 10-year yields and high fuel prices is forcing the US administration toward a deal as the 'least bad option'.
