Oil keeps climbing as Middle East tensions flare — ride the energy rally

Fighting between the US and Iran is escalating, driving oil prices up for three days straight. At the same time, a new government report shows that higher energy costs are pushing up inflation across the country.

Idea

Oil prices are rising because the conflict between the US and Iran is threatening a major shipping route, making it harder for oil to reach the global market. This attack on supply is pushing pump and barrel prices higher just as the government reports that inflation is heating up. When oil prices climb steadily over several days, major oil companies tend to see their stock prices follow suit. Buying a basket of oil companies or an oil fund captures this momentum as long as the geopolitical tension keeps supply constrained.
