Middle East tensions push oil higher — ride the energy rally with Exxon and Chevron

Fresh clashes between the US and Iran are derailing peace hopes, pushing oil prices up for a third straight day as the conflict threatens a major global shipping route.

Idea

When a major shipping chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz is threatened, oil prices tend to spike and stay elevated as long as the geopolitical tension lasts. This directly benefits the bottom line of companies that produce oil, since the fuel they pull from the ground suddenly commands a much higher price. With peace talks looking shaky, this price boost has a strong chance of sticking around for a while. Buying shares of the biggest U.S. oil producers is a straightforward way to profit from this global supply scare.
