Middle East tensions reigniting and backup pipelines aren't enough — ride the oil rally

Fighting between the U.S. and Iran is escalating again, threatening a major source of the world's oil. Backup shipping routes won't be enough to solve the problem if the conflict drags on.

Idea

Oil prices are steadily climbing as clashes between the U.S. and Iran shatter hopes for a peace agreement in the Middle East. The latest reports show that existing backup pipelines and ports can only replace some of the oil that could be disrupted if the conflict continues. Because the world's spare capacity is so tight, any further escalation could easily push prices up even faster. This idea looks to ride the upward momentum in oil prices by investing in a broad basket of energy companies that directly profit from higher crude prices.
