War disruptions may send oil to $150 to $200 a barrel. Here's my advice for stock investors
In his Sunday column for Investing Club subscribers, Jim Cramer explains how investors should navigate a continued surge in oil prices.
TL;DR
- The Strait of Hormuz closure could remove 14 million barrels of oil daily, potentially driving prices to $150-$200 per barrel.
- This situation is compared to the 2022 Ukraine invasion, which saw oil prices spike significantly.
- High oil prices can lead to demand destruction and potential economic slowdown, but also create opportunities for rate cuts.
- Investors are advised against panic selling, as historical market behavior suggests a rebound after such crises.
- The author suggests that the loss of oil supply is likely temporary and that the market will eventually stabilize, making it better to stay invested.
