Strait of Hormuz blockade could drag on for months — load up on US oil stocks
Iran has stopped peace talks with the U.S. and is threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route. Industry experts now warn that this supply disruption could last through the end of the year, causing oil prices to surge.
Idea
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil shipping lanes in the world, and a prolonged blockage will severely restrict global oil supply. When supply drops but demand stays the same, the price of oil shoots higher. U.S.-based oil producers and energy funds will benefit greatly because their operations don't rely on that Middle Eastern shipping route. Buying domestic energy stocks allows you to profit as their product becomes more valuable on the global market.
