Oil keeps climbing as Iran tensions flare — load up on energy stocks for the momentum ride

Fresh attacks between the US and Iran are ruining chances for a peace deal, pushing oil prices up for the third day in a row. At the same time, the Fed's latest report confirms this is causing higher inflation across the economy.

Idea

When geopolitical conflicts threaten a major oil shipping route like the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices tend to keep rising as markets price in the risk of disrupted supply. With the US and Iran exchanging strikes, a quick peace deal looks unlikely. Because higher oil costs are now bleeding into broader inflation—as confirmed by the Fed today—the market will likely continue bidding up oil and energy companies as a safe haven against these rising prices.
