US strikes Iran again, oil prices spike — ride the energy rally on Exxon and Chevron

The U.S. just carried out fresh military strikes on Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that about one-fifth of the world's oil passes through. Oil prices immediately jumped as traders worry shipping could be disrupted.

Idea

Every time military tensions flare near the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices spike because roughly 20% of global oil shipments pass through that chokepoint. This time the strikes happened during already-fragile peace negotiations, making a quick resolution less likely. Higher oil prices flow directly to the bottom line of major producers like Exxon and Chevron. The bond market is also flashing inflation worries, which tends to push investors into hard-asset stocks as a hedge.
