Oil could hit $150 if shipping disruption drags on — load up on US energy producers
Energy experts are warning that oil prices could rocket past $150 a barrel if a critical global shipping route remains blocked by August. This creates a massive profit opportunity for domestic oil producers who are insulated from the shipping disruptions.
Idea
A major chokepoint for global oil shipments is currently blocked, and experts forecast oil prices soaring to $150 or even $200 a barrel if the issue isn't resolved. When global oil prices spike this fast due to overseas supply shocks, domestic oil drillers see their profit margins expand rapidly because their own production costs don't rise nearly as fast as the price of the oil they sell. Buying a basket of U.S. energy stocks or a broad oil fund captures this panic-driven price surge.
