US-Iran clashes send oil prices climbing for a third day — buy the oil producers

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as renewed fighting between the US and Iran ruins the chances of an imminent peace deal.

Idea

Fresh clashes between the US and Iran are directly threatening the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route. When major shipping chokepoints are at risk of being blocked, oil prices tend to rise quickly as markets panic about potential shortages. Because this conflict is escalating rather than resolving, companies that produce and sell oil stand to make significantly more money on every barrel, making their stocks attractive in the short term.
