U.S. strikes Iran near the world's busiest oil route — energy stocks are the obvious play
The U.S. just carried out fresh airstrikes on Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz — a critical oil-shipping chokepoint — pushing crude oil up nearly 3% toward $97 a barrel.
Idea
Fresh U.S. military strikes on Iran are reigniting fears that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz — which handles roughly a fifth of the world's oil — could be disrupted. Oil has already jumped almost 3%, and history shows that when geopolitical conflict threatens major supply routes, energy stocks tend to keep climbing as traders price in the risk of further escalation. With inflation already at a 3-year high, higher oil prices only reinforce the momentum for energy companies.
