Middle East tensions keep pushing oil up — ride the momentum on energy stocks
Fresh fighting in the Middle East is pushing oil prices higher because investors worry the conflict will choke off global oil supplies.
Idea
The recent escalation in the US-Iran conflict is causing a spike in oil prices as markets price in the risk of a major supply disruption. When key global shipping routes for oil are threatened, energy companies usually see their stock prices rise alongside the price of crude oil. Because this is an ongoing geopolitical issue rather than a one-day event, the upward pressure on oil could last for a while. Buying a basket of major oil companies or an oil fund is a straightforward way to bet on this continued momentum.
