War and surging oil prices mean inflation is back — buy energy ETFs to ride the chaos

Oil prices just spiked 5% because of the Iran attacks, which will make everything more expensive. Top strategists now warn this will force the Federal Reserve to fight inflation again, and the new Fed Chair is intentionally keeping the market guessing to spark volatility.

Idea

By connecting the 5% spike in oil prices from the Iran attacks to warnings from top economists about returning inflation, we get a perfect recipe for an oil rally. Because the new Fed Chair is intentionally being unpredictable, the market won't be able to price in a simple rate cut to save the economy. Instead, rising energy costs will squeeze the economy blindly, keeping a bid under energy commodities as a hedge against both inflation and geopolitical chaos.
