USO, TPET, BATL Plunge Premarket As US-Iran Ceasefire Drags Oil Back Below $100 — Analysts See Lingering Shipping Risks

Major oil stocks and index funds slid in premarket trading on Wednesday after crude prices plunged below $100 a barrel, following the U.S. and Iran's agreement on a temporary ceasefire aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Trading volumes surged after the announcement, with nearly 240,000 Brent contracts changing hands in the first hour.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Crude held above $110 ahead of Trump’s deadline tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz in the conflict’s sixth week.</li><li>USO, INDO, TPET and EONR each gained about 2%, while BATL edged marginally higher before the open.</li><li>Analysts said crude is no longer trading traditional supply-demand signals, warning that infrastructure damage could sideline barrels for months.</li></ul>Major oil stocks and index funds rose in premarket trading on Tuesday as crude held above $110 ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with traders bracing for escalation risks in the sixth week of the conflict.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund (USO)</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/INDO">Indonesia Energy (INDO)</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TPET">Trio Petroleum (TPET)</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EONR">EON Resources (EONR)</a> each rose about 2%, while&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BATL">Battalion Oil (BATL)</a> edged marginally higher in premarket trading.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Oil Holds Above $110 Ahead Of Trump Deadline</h2>Brent crude traded near $111.41 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate hovered around $114.98, extending gains after rising for a third consecutive session as markets reacted to renewed threats targeting Iranian infrastructure if U.S. demands are not met before Tuesday evening’s deadline.Trump said negotiations with Iran are “going well” but warned the U.S. military could destroy Iranian bridges and power plants if transit through the waterway is not restored.

Trump also warned the U.S. could “blow up Iranian infrastructure, including power plants,” if transit through the strait is not restored.Meanwhile, the UAE has joined calls for the UN to authorize action to reopen the route, while China and Pakistan urged safeguards for shipping.

However, the firm noted that the process could take weeks to several months.IG said any de-escalation is unlikely to quickly restore flows through Hormuz, which keeps the market tight and limits downside in crude.Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova, said markets are already shifting from panic-driven buying toward more tactical positioning. “The market has already priced in major geopolitical risks,” she said, adding that further upside now depends on actual supply losses rather than threats alone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About Energy Stocks?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around oil was mostly negative, with USO, TPET and EONR showing ‘bearish’ sentiment amid ‘normal’ to ‘low’ message volume, while INDO registered ‘extremely bearish’ sentiment alongside ‘extremely low’ activity.
