Middle East tensions send oil prices surging — accumulate major oil stocks
Fresh attacks in the Middle East are threatening a fragile ceasefire and disrupting a major global oil shipping route. Experts warn that a prolonged conflict will squeeze global oil supplies.
Idea
Escalating conflicts in the Middle East directly threaten the flow of oil through critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. When oil supply is at risk, crude prices tend to spike, which dramatically increases the revenue of major oil producers. Buying a basket of major U.S. oil stocks is a simple way to position for a sustained period of higher energy prices. As long as peace talks remain stalled, this sector has a strong fundamental tailwind.
