Iran just mined the world's most important oil route — load up on energy stocks before crude spikes
Iran has placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway where roughly one-fifth of the world's daily oil supply passes through. That creates an immediate threat to global energy shipments.
Idea
The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of all oil traded worldwide. Any disruption or threat to shipping there instantly pushes crude prices higher because buyers scramble for supply. Higher oil prices go straight to the profits of big energy producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron, and those stocks typically rally 5-10% in the weeks after a major Middle East escalation. Even the fear of a blockage — without one actually happening — can be enough to lift the entire energy sector.
