Iran threatens to block the world's most important oil route — load up on energy stocks and oil ETFs

Iran just broke off talks with the U.S. and threatened to completely block the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that roughly 20% of the world's oil passes through every day. Oil prices are already climbing on the news.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is the single most important oil shipping chokepoint on the planet. Even the threat of a blockade has historically sent crude prices surging within days. Oil was already rising on fresh U.S.-Iran attacks, and this escalation piles on more pressure. Energy stocks like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to move in lockstep with crude during Middle East flare-ups, and they often keep running for weeks even after the headlines fade as markets re-price the risk premium.
