Middle East tensions push oil higher — ride the energy rally

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as recent military clashes between the US and Iran make a peace deal look unlikely, threatening a critical global shipping route for oil.

Idea

Geopolitical tension in the Middle East is flaring up, directly threatening the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. When a major oil shipping route is at risk, the price of crude tends to shoot higher as supplies get tight. Big oil companies like Exxon and Chevron directly profit from these higher prices, meaning their stock values usually track the rising price of oil. Since there is no clear resolution in sight, this upward pressure on energy prices could easily continue.
