Oil keeps climbing as Middle East tensions flare — ride the energy wave with Exxon and Chevron

Oil prices are rising for the third day in a row because military conflicts between the US and Iran are making it harder to secure a peace deal in the Middle East, which could restrict global oil supplies.

Idea

Rising tensions in the Middle East directly threaten the global supply of oil. As the US and Iran exchange strikes, traders are getting nervous that a major shipping route could be disrupted, driving up the price of crude. When oil prices surge, the companies that pump and refine oil—like ExxonMobil and Chevron—typically see their stock prices rise as well. Because this is a developing geopolitical situation, getting into energy stocks now positions you to benefit if the conflict drags on and keeps oil prices elevated.
