Iran just mined the world's biggest oil chokepoint — load up on Exxon and Chevron before crude spikes

The U.S. Secretary of State says Iran has placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway where about one-fifth of the world's oil passes through every day. That threatens global oil supply and could push gas and oil prices significantly higher.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint, and Iran just mined it. When oil supply routes are physically threatened, crude prices tend to spike fast — and energy company stocks move right alongside them. Exxon and Chevron are the biggest U.S. oil producers and typically rally hard when geopolitical tensions hit the Middle East. Even if the situation cools down diplomatically, oil stocks often stay elevated for weeks as markets reprice the risk of future disruptions.
