The story
Oil prices are rising as the US and Iran exchange strikes while Israel expands its ground offensive into Lebanon, escalating Middle East conflict simultaneously on multiple fronts. The supply disruption premium is back in crude — energy equities with leveraged oil exposure stand to outperform in a risk-off tape where broader equities will likely sell off.
