Middle East tensions push oil higher for a third day — load up on energy stocks
Fighting between the U.S. and Iran has flared up again, throwing a wrench into peace talks and threatening a major global shipping route for oil. As a result, oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row.
Idea
Geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East directly threaten the safe transport of global oil supplies. Because there is no immediate sign of a ceasefire, the fear of disrupted supply is keeping upward pressure on oil prices. Energy stocks and oil funds tend to rise quickly in these environments as traders scramble to secure exposure to higher energy costs. Betting on established energy companies allows you to profit from this sustained geopolitical tension.
