Oil keeps jumping as US-Iran strikes escalate — go long on energy stocks to hedge the inflation bite
Oil prices are surging after the U.S. launched new military strikes on Iran. This is making everything more expensive—inflation just hit a three-year high of 4.2%, largely because the war is disrupting energy supplies.
Idea
Military conflicts in the Middle East routinely disrupt global oil shipping routes, causing prices to spike at the pump and in the markets. Because this conflict keeps escalating, energy companies are seeing a direct benefit to their bottom lines from higher oil prices. Meanwhile, the inflation report shows this trend is not slowing down. As long as the strikes continue, energy stocks are likely to keep trending upward, making them a strong place to park money while the broader stock market struggles.
