Oil surges as US-Iran conflict heats up — buy energy stocks to ride the spike

The US military struck Iranian targets near a critical oil shipping route, causing oil prices to spike to almost $97 a barrel and stoking fears of prolonged inflation.

Idea

Military conflicts in the Middle East always create anxiety in the oil market, but this time the US strikes are happening dangerously close to the Strait of Hormuz, a major chokepoint for global oil shipments. Brent crude has already jumped almost 3% to approach $97 a barrel. Energy stocks tend to move hand-in-hand with oil prices, meaning companies that produce oil will see their profits surge. With inflation already running hot, higher energy costs are likely here to stay, making oil stocks a strong hedge for your portfolio.
