Oil surging as US-Iran fighting reignites near Hormuz — ride the energy rally
The U.S. just launched fresh airstrikes on an Iranian military site near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil-shipping chokepoint. Oil prices immediately jumped, with Brent crude approaching $97 a barrel.
Idea
Every time fighting flares near the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices spike because roughly a fifth of the world's oil passes through there. This morning's airstrikes shattered hopes of a peace deal, and Brent crude is already pushing $97. Energy stocks like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to move in the same direction as oil but often lag by a day or two, giving you a window to get in. As long as the ceasefire remains broken and diplomacy is stalled, the fear premium in oil should stick around.
