Question
Brent crude tops $76 amid renewed violence in Strait of Hormuz linked to Iran war
Direct answer
Higher crude prices support energy majors like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) and lift the energy sector ETF (XLE), while adding upside pressure to inflation expectations embedded in US breakevens (USINF5Y) and weighing on fuel‑sensitive sectors such as airlines (JETS).
