Trade Alert: After The War
Desalination plants in the region will need to be repaired. We have an options trade for that. Plus four additional setups related to the AI buildout.
Postwar Reconstruction
President Trump’s revised deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is now Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, and his public threat remains the same: if there’s no deal and the Strait stays closed, the U.S. military will destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges. Iran has warned that it will hit Gulf infrastructure and other targets in retaliation—not that they haven’t already done some of this. Iranian strikes have already hit petrochemical facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE, and in Kuwait, drones also targeted water desalination plants, in addition to hitting oil infrastructure there..
Last month, we placed bullish trades on companies positioned to benefit from repairing that oil infrastructure.
Today, we’re adding a new trade on a company that supplies key components to desalination plants in the Persian Gulf.
Plus, Keeping Our Eyes On The AI Buildout
We are also adding four other bullish, defined-risk setups today. Two are Top Names in semiconductor equipment. Two more come from our Market Watchers X list, tied to power and emissions-control infrastructure and to semiconductor test and inspection. But the common thread is the same one we’ve been emphasizing for weeks now: we think this war is more likely to end in weeks than months, and we want exposure to the kinds of names that should benefit once the market can start looking past the fighting. At the same time, the tape is still messy, volatility is still elevated, and we do not get rewarded for chasing. We either get filled at prices that make sense, or we move on.
