Oil marches higher as US-Iran clashes flare — load up on energy stocks
Fresh military clashes between the US and Iran are putting a fragile peace deal at risk. Because the conflict threatens a major global oil shipping route, oil prices have been climbing for three days straight.
Idea
Oil has risen for three straight sessions as renewed fighting between the US and Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. When tensions escalate in this region, oil companies typically see their stock prices follow the price of crude higher. With peace prospects looking dim, this upward pressure on energy prices could continue. Buying a basket of major oil stocks or an energy fund offers a straightforward way to ride this geopolitical tension.
