Middle East conflict flares up — position for an oil price spike

Idea

Military conflict near the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world's most important oil shipping routes—immediately threatens global energy supply. When supply is at risk, oil prices typically spike.

By buying oil or oil-related stocks, traders position themselves to profit from the rapid price jumps that happen when the market prices in the risk of disrupted supply.
