US-Iran clashes push oil prices higher — buy big energy stocks as an inflation shield
Fresh clashes between the US and Iran are pushing oil prices up for the third day in a row. The Federal Reserve also reported that inflation is heating up, largely because of these rising energy costs.
Idea
Escalating conflicts in the Middle East are disrupting oil supplies, which pushes the price of crude higher. This directly benefits companies that pull oil out of the ground, as they get paid more for their product. Since the Federal Reserve noted that energy costs are actively driving inflation higher, these companies are seeing a double benefit: higher prices for their oil and their stock acting as a shield against general inflation. If peace talks continue to stall, expect oil producers to keep rallying.
