Oil surges on Middle East clashes — buy big energy stocks to ride the momentum

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as recent military clashes between the US and Iran make a peace deal look less likely, threatening a major global shipping route for crude oil.

Idea

Fresh fighting in the Middle East is delaying peace agreements and threatening oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. This pushes crude prices higher as markets worry about supply shortages. Energy stocks like ExxonMobil and Chevron generally track oil prices closely, so they stand to benefit as long as the conflict continues. A trade on a broad energy fund provides a simple way to capture this momentum while spreading out the risk of any single company.
