Oil spikes as US strikes Iran — buy energy stocks for the breakout

Oil prices just jumped because the U.S. launched new military strikes in Iran, making traders worry that a major global shipping route for oil could be blocked.

Idea

When military conflicts flare up in the Middle East, oil prices tend to spike quickly because traders worry about supply shortages. Fresh U.S. strikes in Iran are doing exactly that, renewing fears that ships won't be able to safely move through the vital Strait of Hormuz. Because oil prices are reacting so strongly, the companies that pump and sell oil see their profit potential rise instantly. Buying shares of major oil producers allows everyday investors to profit directly from this sudden jump in global tension.
