Global Energy ETF Benefits from Middle East Crisis and Rising Oil Prices
The iShares Global Energy ETF (IXC) has risen 29% year-to-date as oil prices climbed above $114/barrel due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz following a Middle East conflict. The ETF's holdings in major oil companies like ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Shell (SHEL) position it to benefit from elevated oil prices and geopolitical premiums.
