Oil prices jumped after a new round of attacks between the U.S. and Iran dashed hopes for a peace deal, pushing both major crude benchmarks higher.

## Idea

When military tensions flare in the Middle East, oil prices tend to spike because traders worry about supply disruptions. This morning's fresh attacks between the U.S. and Iran have already pushed crude benchmarks higher. Large integrated oil companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips typically move in the same direction as oil prices but often lag by a day or two, giving traders a window to get in. If the conflict escalates further, these stocks could keep climbing for days or weeks.
