Oil keeps rising as Middle East tensions flare — ride the energy rally
Oil prices are climbing for the third day in a row as fresh military clashes between the US and Iran make investors worry that a peace deal won't happen anytime soon, threatening a critical global oil shipping route.
Idea
When a major conflict threatens oil shipments from the Middle East, the price of oil tends to shoot up quickly because markets fear a sudden shortage. This specific flare-up is directly threatening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil. Because this is an ongoing geopolitical situation rather than a one-off event, the fear premium in oil prices could persist for weeks, benefiting domestic oil producers whose costs stay flat while the price they can charge for their product rises.
