How this fits the existing thesis
Parent thesis: Oil prices surged back above $90 per barrel after Iran suspended nuclear negotiations and blamed Israeli escalation in Lebanon, injecting a sharp geopolitical risk premium into crude markets. Exxon is simultaneously pursuing new production rights in Venezuela, while Chevron's energy index rose 1.8% in a single session. The combination of Middle East supply disruption fears and major oil majors actively expanding production optionality creates a constructive near-term setup for integrated energy names.
