Coffee with a Hot Screen: The Deal That Changed the Game

June 16, 2026 | Wall Street breathes a sigh of relief (and keeps an eye on oil)


1. US-Iran Deal: Blockade ends, oil plummets

Fact: The US and Iran have reached a peace deal, reopening the Strait of Hormuz on Friday and lifting the American blockade.

I Would Sell short-term oil-linked assets (e.g., USO, XOM, CVX). The 4% drop in oil futures is just the start of a larger correction.

  • Oil (WTI, Brent)
  • Airlines (AAL, UAL)
  • Shipping companies (ZIM)
  • S&P 500 Index (SPY) – indirect beneficiary
2. SpaceX IPO: Elon becomes a trillionaire, but the pie has grown

Fact: SpaceX debuted on the stock exchange with the largest IPO in history, and Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire.

I Would Buy on the first pullback (SPCE for comparison, but focus on SpaceX via ARKK or space-themed ETFs). The valuation is steep, but the launch monopoly is real.

  • SpaceX (via ETFs like UFO)
  • Starlink (satellite suppliers)
  • Defense (RTX, LMT)
  • High-growth tech (TSLA – indirect)
3. Global markets celebrate: Japan and Bitcoin surge

Fact: The deal boosted Dow futures (+0.52%), the Nikkei index (EWJ), and Bitcoin (+5%+), with the dollar falling.

I Would Buy Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Asian indices (EWJ, FXI). The falling dollar favors real assets and crypto.

  • Bitcoin / Ethereum
  • Nikkei 225 (ETF DXJ)
  • Gold (GLD) – hedge against a weak dollar
  • US Bonds (TLT)
4. China, Australia, and the silent risk

Fact: A new report from the Lowy Institute indicates China already has the real capability to strike Australia with missiles and threaten undersea cables.

I Would Hold exposure to Australian assets (EWA, BHP), but without increasing positions. The geopolitical risk is not yet priced in.

  • Australian mining (BHP, RIO)
  • Telecom (TLS.AX)
  • Global defense (GD, NOC)
  • Copper (FCX)
5. A 1% error costs US$10 billion: The trillionaire's math

Fact: A report reveals that managing Musk's fortune is so complex that a 1% error in IPO management could cost US$10 billion.

I Would Maintain caution with companies heavily concentrated in a single shareholder. E.g., TSLA and SPCE may suffer volatility from insider sales.

  • Tesla (TSLA)
  • SpaceX (indirect) Founder-controlled companies Concentrated growth ETFs

Immediate Opportunities
  • Buy Bitcoin and Ethereum on dollar weakness post-deal.
  • Increase position in airline ETFs (JETS) with cheap oil.
  • Bet on emerging market bonds (EMB) with opening flows.
  • Sell short puts on the S&P 500 (SPY) – relief scenario.
Risks on the Radar
  • Reversal of the deal: any noise between the US and Iran could send oil back to US$90+.
  • Overvaluation of SpaceX: the IPO may be pricing in years of growth in weeks.
  • China-Taiwan: the Australian report shows China is testing limits – this could shatter the current calm.
  • Weak dollar overshoot: if the USD falls too much, US imports will spike and the Fed may step in.
