Oil surges on Hormuz strikes — momentum play on Exxon and Chevron

Oil prices spiked nearly 3% to approach $97 a barrel after the U.S. launched fresh military strikes on Iranian targets, sparking fears of disruptions to global oil shipments.

Idea

The sudden escalation in the Middle East threatens a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies. When geopolitical tensions threaten to restrict oil supply, energy companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron tend to rally hard alongside the price of crude. Because this breakout is driven by breaking news rather than gradual demand, we want to jump on the momentum early and ride it as long as the conflict remains in the headlines.
