Iran airstrikes hit near world's busiest oil route — ride the energy spike with Exxon and Chevron
The U.S. just carried out fresh airstrikes on Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping chokepoint. Oil prices instantly jumped nearly 3%, with Brent crude approaching $97 a barrel.
Idea
The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply, so any military action nearby instantly rattles energy markets. Brent crude is already approaching $97, and further escalation or actual shipping disruptions could push it well above $100. Oil majors like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to ride these spikes higher as investors rush into energy names for protection. With the ceasefire looking fragile and both sides dug in, this rally has room to run beyond a single day.
