Massive war-related damage to oil infrastructure in the Middle East could keep oil prices elevated for months.

Supply risks and stalled diplomacy may keep oil prices higher. Check these energy ETFs to ride the upside.

Stacey Morris, head of energy research at VettaFi, joined Nate Geraci on this week's ETF Prime to discuss energy ETFs amid the Iran conflict. Geopolitics currently dominates oil prices and energy stocks, though the sector posted strong gains before the war began, according to Morris.

I see compelling alpha in energy, transportation, and private credit, driven by accelerating economic growth and cyclical value rotation. Energy stocks, as tracked by XLE, have retraced war-driven gains, offering attractive entry points for growth-focused investors. Transportation indicators and manufacturing data confirm restocking and pricing power, supporting bullish positioning in names like ODFL, UNP, and IYT.

Looking for broad exposure to the Energy - Broad segment of the equity market? You should consider the State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on December 16, 1998.
