Oil surges on Middle East clashes — ride the energy rally

Escalating clashes between the US and Iran are pushing oil prices up, while a new Federal Reserve report confirms that energy-driven inflation is heating up across the country.

Idea

Oil has been rising for three straight days due to fresh attacks in the Middle East threatening a fragile peace deal. When major geopolitical conflicts threaten key energy shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices tend to spike and stay high as markets price in the risk of disrupted supply. The Federal Reserve also just reported that these rising energy costs are pushing up inflation nationwide, which gives oil companies pricing power and boosts their expected profits.
