Oil prices surging on Middle East tensions — load up on energy stocks

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as new clashes between the U.S. and Iran threaten to disrupt global oil shipments through the Middle East.

Idea

Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East directly threaten the safe passage of global oil shipments. When the supply of oil is at risk of being disrupted, the price of oil tends to shoot up as buyers scramble to secure what they need. This ongoing conflict has already pushed prices higher for three straight days, and energy stocks usually follow oil prices upward. Buying a basket of major U.S. oil companies or an oil fund gives you a direct way to profit if these tensions continue to escalate.
