Oil keeps climbing as US-Iran clashes block exports — ride the energy rally on Exxon and Chevron

Rising tensions and new military clashes between the US and Iran are pushing oil prices up for the third day in a row. The conflict is keeping a critical global oil shipping route blocked, which restricts the global supply of oil.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil, and it has been blocked for over three months. Recent military clashes are destroying any immediate hope of a peace deal to reopen it. When the world's oil supply is threatened, energy companies and oil prices tend to rise quickly. With no resolution in sight, the steady rise in oil prices has strong momentum and institutional backing, making a bet on major oil producers a high-conviction play right now.
