US-Iran clashes push oil higher again — ride the energy rally and protect against a market dip

Fighting between the US and Iran is escalating again, pushing oil prices up for three days straight. At the same time, the stock market just ended a nine-day hot streak because investors are worried about higher energy costs.

Idea

When conflicts in the Middle East flare up, oil prices often keep climbing because the world relies on the region for energy. Higher oil prices mean the companies that drill and sell oil make a lot more money. Meanwhile, the broader stock market gets nervous because high energy costs hurt regular businesses, which often knocks share prices down. A straightforward way to play this is to bet on the biggest oil companies going up while betting that the overall market will struggle.
