Strait of Hormuz mined and blocked for months — grab big oil stocks while supply stays tight

The Strait of Hormuz — the shipping lane that handles roughly one-fifth of the world's oil — has been effectively blocked for over three months. Iran has now mined large sections of it, and peace talks are going nowhere.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint, and it's now been blocked for three months with Iran actively mining the waterway. Energy experts are warning that a prolonged conflict will keep squeezing supply. When supply shrinks and demand stays steady, oil prices climb — and big producers like Exxon and Chevron rake in more cash per barrel. The conflict shows no sign of resolving soon, which means oil companies could keep rallying as the market prices in extended disruptions.
