Oil keeps climbing as Middle East tensions flare — play the pullback in the broader market

Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as clashes between the US and Iran make investors nervous about a potential peace deal. Higher oil prices act like a tax on consumers, which is dragging down the broader stock market.

Idea

Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are pushing oil prices higher, which historically puts downward pressure on the broader stock market. The S&P 500 recently snapped a nine-day winning streak because of this exact pressure. As long as the conflict threatens the global oil supply, inflation fears will keep a lid on stock market gains. Betting against the broader market index allows you to profit from this temporary bout of investor panic.
