Oil prices surging on Middle East tension — momentum play on energy stocks

Idea

Oil has been climbing for three straight days as renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran casts serious doubt on a ceasefire. Because the Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route for global oil, any threat of blockage tends to push prices higher as traders worry about supply shortages. Major oil companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron usually follow oil prices up in these situations, and energy stocks have recently been outperforming the broader market as a result.
