Oil surges after U.S. strikes Iran — momentum play on energy stocks

The U.S. military conducted new airstrikes on targets in Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Because this is a critical route for global oil shipping, the price of oil is jumping as markets worry about supply disruptions.

Idea

Military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz create immediate uncertainty about global oil shipments. With Brent crude pushing toward $97 a barrel, the fear of supply disruptions is likely to keep upward pressure on oil prices in the short term. This is a classic geopolitical shock where energy stocks and crude oil tend to rally as investors price in a 'risk premium' for the chaos. Buying energy stocks or oil ETFs is a way to bet on this tension continuing.
