Oil surges as U.S. strikes Iran and Strait of Hormuz stays at risk — load up on big oil stocks

Fresh U.S. military strikes in Iran are reigniting fears that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — a choke point for roughly one-fifth of the world's oil — could be disrupted. Analysts warn gas could hit $5 a gallon if the situation doesn't improve.

Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil shipping lanes, and military escalation near it directly threatens global supply. Oil prices already jumped on the news, and analysts say gas could reach $5 a gallon if disruptions drag on. Major oil producers like ExxonMobil and Chevron tend to surge when crude prices spike because their profits are tightly linked to the price of oil. With no clear resolution in sight, this upward pressure on oil could persist for weeks.
