Oil surges on US airstrikes in Iran — grab energy stocks while they're running

The U.S. carried out fresh airstrikes on Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil-shipping chokepoint. Oil prices jumped nearly 3%, pushing Brent toward $97 a barrel, as traders worry the conflict could disrupt global energy supplies.

Idea

Every time the Iran conflict flares up, oil spikes because the Strait of Hormuz handles roughly a fifth of the world's oil. Brent is already nearing $97, and if diplomacy continues to stall, prices could keep climbing. Higher oil prices flow straight to the bottom line of major producers like Exxon and Chevron. The Fed's own inflation gauge is also expected to rise Thursday, which reinforces the narrative of elevated energy costs and makes this trade more than a one-day spike.
