Oil prices are climbing after a new round of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran made investors worry that a peace deal is off the table for now.

## Idea

Middle East flare-ups have reliably pushed oil prices higher as traders price in the risk of supply disruptions. This latest round of U.S.-Iran attacks has already lifted crude futures, and major oil producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to move in the same direction — often with extra juice. If tensions escalate further or diplomacy stalls, the rally has room to run. History shows these geopolitical oil spikes can last weeks, not just days.
