Oil spikes as Middle East tensions escalate — momentum play on energy stocks

The US just conducted military strikes on Iran, causing oil prices to spike nearly 3% toward $97 a barrel due to fears about disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipping. When military conflicts escalate in this region, oil prices tend to rise quickly on supply fears. Major energy stocks and oil funds usually follow the price of crude higher. With strikes continuing, this momentum likely has legs in the short term.
