A new round of fighting between the U.S. and Iran is making investors worry that a peace deal won't happen anytime soon, pushing oil prices higher this morning.

## Idea

Every time tensions flare in the Middle East, oil tends to jump because traders worry about supply disruptions. This time, the back-and-forth between the U.S. and Iran is killing off hopes for a peace deal, which means the risk premium in oil is likely to stick around. When oil stays elevated, the big energy companies — like ExxonMobil and Chevron — tend to see their shares climb because higher oil prices mean fatter profits. The energy sector has been quiet for a while, so this geopolitical shock could be the catalyst that gets it moving again.
