🌟🌟🌟As of March 4, crude oil prices have surged following military strikes in the Middle East and the effective closure of the Straits of Hormuz.  Analysts have warned that if the Hormuz blockade persists for weeks or regional infrastructure is targeted, crude oil prices could soar toward USD 100 or even USD 120.

A worst case scenario in the event of an all out war, involving US ground troops, prices could double to even USD 150.

Conversely if there is a cease fire, the "war" premium could evaporate within days, returning oil prices to USD 73 to 75.

$Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ which represents 22 of the US oil giants in 1 powerful ETF, provides a tactical play during this volatile geopolitical instability.

These include $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ and $Chevron(CVX)$ which would benefit from the current oil shortage.  These 2 oil giants alone make up nearly 40% of XLE holdings.

Let's hope and pray for peace in the region soon as war is never a solution.
