Middle East tensions push oil higher for 3 days straight — ride the energy rally

Oil prices have jumped over 1% for the third day in a row as recent military clashes and stalled negotiations between the US and Iran make investors worry about a disruption in global oil supplies.

Idea

Rising geopolitical tension directly threatens the flow of oil from the Middle East, specifically through the Strait of Hormuz. When peace talks break down and military strikes occur, traders immediately bid up oil prices to account for the risk of supply shortages. Because this conflict is driving prices higher for three straight sessions, the upward trend is likely to continue as long as the uncertainty remains. Buying energy stocks or oil funds allows traders to position themselves for further gains if the situation escalates.
