Middle East clashes threaten oil supply — ride the energy rally
Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as new military clashes between the US and Iran make a peace deal look unlikely, threatening a major global shipping route for crude oil.
Idea
Rising tensions in the Middle East directly threaten the flow of global oil supplies, which historically causes crude prices to spike as fear of shortages sets in. Because this conflict is escalating rather than resolving, shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz remain at risk. This combination of actual supply threats and market fear tends to lift energy company stocks along with the price of oil itself. As long as the geopolitical situation remains tense, this upward pressure on oil stocks should continue.
