Middle East clashes push oil higher again — ride the energy rally with Chevron and ExxonMobil

Rising tensions in the Middle East are pushing oil prices higher for the third day in a row, and a new Federal Reserve report confirms that energy costs are driving up inflation across the country.

Idea

Fighting between the U.S. and Iran is threatening a fragile peace deal, which directly risks oil supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz and pushes energy prices up. Higher oil prices also feed into inflation, which was highlighted in the latest Federal Reserve report. When oil prices trend up strongly over several days, major oil companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil usually see their stock prices follow. Buying a basket of energy stocks or an oil fund lets you profit from this momentum as the geopolitical situation unfolds.
