Middle East strikes send oil surging — ride the energy wave with Exxon and Chevron

The U.S. just launched a new round of military strikes on Iran, causing oil prices to spike. At the same time, inflation has climbed to a three-year high of 4.2%, largely driven by rising energy costs.

Idea

Military conflicts in the Middle East routinely disrupt oil shipments and push fuel prices higher. With ceasefire talks falling apart, expect oil prices to keep climbing as markets price in longer disruptions. Big oil companies like Exxon and Chevron directly profit from higher oil prices, making their shares a straightforward way to ride this trend. Since this war is already driving overall inflation to three-year highs, energy stocks also serve as a natural shield for your portfolio.
