Iran mines Strait of Hormuz and tankers are stuck — bet on higher oil prices

Tensions in the Middle East are escalating as Iran has mined key shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. This is causing major oil tankers to get stuck, threatening to choke off a massive portion of the world's daily oil supply.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz handles a staggering amount of the world's daily oil shipments. If ships literally cannot pass through safely because of active mines, the amount of oil available globally shrinks very quickly. When supply drops suddenly but demand stays the same, prices shoot upward. Buying energy stocks or oil funds while this geopolitical crisis unfolds is a direct way to profit from the resulting supply shock.
