Oil keeps climbing as Middle East tensions flare — ride the energy rally with Exxon and Chevron
Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as fresh military clashes between the US and Iran are making investors worried about a peace deal. When tensions rise in the Middle East, oil tends to get more expensive because traders worry about supply disruptions.
Idea
Rising geopolitical tension in the Middle East directly threatens oil supply routes, specifically the Strait of Hormuz. As peace talks look less likely, energy traders are bidding up oil prices to protect themselves against future shortages. Major oil companies like Exxon and Chevron tend to see their stock prices climb right alongside the price of crude oil. Because this is a developing situation with ongoing clashes, the momentum in energy prices likely has room to run.
