Iran just mined the world's busiest oil chokepoint — buy energy stocks before crude takes off

The U.S. Secretary of State says Iran has mined large sections of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that roughly one-fifth of the world's oil passes through every day.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint — about 20 million barrels a day flow through it. If ships can't safely pass because of naval mines, global oil supply gets squeezed fast and prices spike. Energy stocks like Chevron and broad oil funds tend to surge in these moments because the market prices in real disruption risk. Even the possibility of a prolonged shutdown could keep a floor under oil prices for weeks.
