Middle East tensions push oil higher — ride the energy rally on Exxon and Chevron
Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as fresh clashes between the US and Iran make investors worry about a fragile peace deal. When the price of oil goes up, oil companies make more money.
Idea
A fresh exchange of military strikes in the Middle East is directly threatening a major peace agreement, which puts the global oil supply at risk. This uncertainty is already pushing the price of a barrel of oil higher for a third consecutive day. Because energy companies profit directly from higher oil prices, their stock prices tend to follow suit when geopolitical tensions flare up. As long as this conflict continues to cloud the outlook, this upward pressure on oil and energy stocks should persist.
