Oil spikes on new Iran strikes — ride the momentum on Big Oil stocks

The U.S. just launched fresh military strikes near Iran, reigniting fears that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical shipping route — could be disrupted. Oil prices jumped on the news.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply. Fresh U.S. military strikes have made real disruption a possibility again, which drove an immediate spike in crude prices. If tensions keep escalating, oil could continue climbing as traders price in a prolonged risk to supply. Major oil companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron, as well as broad oil ETFs, tend to rally hard during these geopolitical supply scares. The key risk is a sudden cease-fire or peace deal, which could reverse the move quickly.
