Middle East tensions flare, oil surging — momentum play on energy stocks
The US and Iran are exchanging military strikes, threatening a peace deal and blocking a major global oil route. Oil prices are rising for the third day in a row, and the government just reported higher inflation largely driven by these energy costs.
Idea
Military clashes are directly threatening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint. When supply routes are at risk, oil prices tend to spike as markets panic about shortages. Because energy costs are driving inflation higher, oil companies are likely to see massive profits from these sustained higher prices. As long as the tensions remain unresolved, this momentum should push energy stocks higher.
