Oil climbs as Middle East tensions flare — load up on energy stocks

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as fresh fighting between the U.S. and Iran threatens a fragile peace deal and puts a key global oil shipping route at risk.

Idea

Rising military clashes in the Middle East directly threaten the safe transport of global oil supplies. When a major shipping chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz is at risk of closure, oil buyers rush to secure inventory, driving prices up quickly. Because this is the third straight day of price increases, a clear short-term upward trend is forming. If the geopolitical tension continues, oil prices and related energy stocks will likely keep climbing as investors price in a prolonged supply squeeze.
