Middle East tensions keep pushing oil higher — ride the momentum on energy stocks

Tensions between the US and Iran are flaring up again, making it harder to reach a peace deal. Because the conflict is in a major oil-producing region, the threat of supply disruptions is pushing oil prices higher.

Idea

Fresh clashes between the US and Iran are directly threatening oil supply routes, pushing prices up for three days in a row. If a peace deal falls through, oil prices could easily keep climbing as buyers scramble to secure supply. Meanwhile, the Fed just noted that higher energy costs are already driving up inflation, making oil an attractive hedge for regular investors. Major oil companies like Exxon and Chevron tend to move in the same direction as oil prices, making them a straightforward way to play this trend.
