Strait of Hormuz blockade drags on with no peace deal — ride the oil price surge

Oil prices are rising for the third day in a row as fresh military clashes between the US and Iran are making a peace deal look unlikely. A massive amount of the world's oil and gas has to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a route that has been effectively blocked for over three months.

Idea

The ongoing conflict is directly threatening a critical waterway for global oil shipments, creating a physical squeeze on supply. Since a peace deal is currently stalled, this supply fear is likely to keep pushing oil prices upward. Oil companies directly benefit from these higher prices, making their stocks attractive right now. Buying into a basket of major oil producers captures this momentum while the geopolitical tension persists.
