Middle East tensions keep pushing oil higher — ride the energy rally

Rising tensions between the US and Iran are pushing oil prices higher for the third day in a row, as new military strikes make a peace deal look less likely.

Idea

Military clashes in the Middle East are directly threatening the flow of oil through major shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz. When key shipping channels are at risk, the price of oil tends to spike because traders worry about global supply shortages. With talks stalling and both sides exchanging strikes, this tension isn't likely to disappear overnight, which should keep a floor under oil prices. Energy companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron stand to benefit directly from higher oil prices, as every dollar added to the price of crude means more profit for their bottom line.
