BZ: Iranian crude flows heavily influence Brent pricing, and a complete cutoff removes significant supply. Reduced Middle East supply availability is likely to lift Brent prices. XLE: Broad energy sector equities benefit from rising crude prices and tightening supply. Higher oil prices typically boost energy producer earnings and ETF valuations.
