Oil spikes as Iran tensions flare — load up on energy stocks

Oil prices are spiking because fresh U.S. military strikes in Iran have traders worried that a major global shipping route for oil could be blocked.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supply. Any military action nearby immediately prices a 'risk premium' into oil. As long as these strikes and tensions continue, energy prices should stay elevated. Major oil companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil directly benefit from these higher crude prices, making the sector a safe haven during this conflict.
