Oil keeps climbing as Middle East tensions flare — jump on energy stocks for the ride up

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as new clashes between the US and Iran make a peace deal look less likely. This is pushing up energy costs, which the Fed says is driving inflation higher across the country.

Idea

Rising tensions in the Middle East are directly disrupting oil supplies and driving up prices at the pump. When energy costs surge like this, companies that produce oil tend to see their profits jump, pulling their stock prices higher. This upward pressure on energy is also sparking broader inflation fears, which makes oil stocks an attractive place to park money to ride out the storm. Since this is an ongoing geopolitical conflict, the upward momentum in oil could last for weeks.
