Strait of Hormuz blocked by mines — ride the energy spike on Exxon and Chevron

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated to the point where Iran has mined a critical oil shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz. This is effectively blocking oil tankers and restricting global oil supply.

Idea

A major chokepoint for global oil transport is now physically blocked by mines, which severely limits the amount of oil available on the market. When supply drops but demand stays the same, the price of oil usually rises. Big energy companies like Exxon and Chevron directly profit from higher oil prices, so their stock prices tend to follow oil upward. With peace talks stalling, this supply squeeze looks set to continue.
