The Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (BWET) has tripled investor capital in early 2026, driven by surging Middle East oil freight rates amid geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. BWET’s performance is directly tied to maritime oil shipping costs, making it highly volatile and dependent on conflict dynamics in Iran and broader regional stability. Oil shipping rates have reached early 2000s levels, but further gains seem unlikely as major powers seek to de-escalate tensions, limiting upside potential. Analysts now recommend selling BWET due to its diminished risk-return profile, despite its past success as a hedge against geopolitical disruptions. While BWET remains a watchlist candidate for risk-hedging, outsized future returns appear improbable, reducing its appeal for short-term investors.

Vladimirovic/E+ via Getty Images Investment Thesis I recommend selling the Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (NYSEARCA:BWET). This is one of the unleveraged ETFs that rise the most in 2026, and its performance is completely related to the war in Iran.
