Fresh U.S. military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz — a critical oil shipping route — have spooked markets and sent oil prices sharply higher overnight.

## Idea

When military escalation threatens the Strait of Hormuz, roughly 20% of global oil shipments are at risk. That supply fear pushes crude prices up fast, and big integrated oil companies like Exxon and Chevron tend to ride that wave because higher oil prices flow straight to their bottom line. The latest strikes snapped a recent pullback in oil and are driving a fresh rally. With energy stocks still trading well below their 2025 peaks, there's room to run if tensions persist.
