Oil spikes on new Iran strikes — grab energy stocks while tensions climb

Fresh US military strikes on Iran are reigniting fears that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz could be disrupted, pushing oil prices — and energy stocks — higher.

Idea

The US just launched new strikes on Iran for the second time in three days, and traders are worried about oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical shipping chokepoint. Oil prices jumped immediately, and energy stocks like Exxon and Chevron typically move in the same direction as crude. Bond markets are also reacting, suggesting investors expect higher inflation from pricier oil. As long as tensions keep escalating, energy companies collect a 'fear premium' that can push shares higher for days.
