Oil keeps climbing as US-Iran clashes escalate — momentum play on energy stocks

Oil prices have been climbing for three days straight because the US and Iran are exchanging strikes again, threatening a peace deal and putting a crucial global oil shipping route at risk.

Idea

A renewed exchange of military strikes is directly threatening the peace deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint. Because this supply route is at risk, the price of oil has been rising for three consecutive days. If tensions continue to escalate, oil prices will likely keep climbing as markets price in a potential supply shortage. This creates a strong tailwind for oil producers and energy funds, making them good candidates for a momentum trade.
