Oil is grading higher after President Trump announced 25% tariffs on Kazakhstan.

Oil is trading higher following reports suggesting Iran has suspended cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. The Middle-East country requires that the International Atomic Energy Agency obtain Supreme National Security Council approval to inspect nuclear sites due to the belief that the agency sided with Western countries and helped justify Israeli air strikes.

Oil prices such as United States Brent Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNO#NYSE">BNO</a>) and the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) are trading lower Tuesday. The selloff follows news that a tentative ceasefire between Israel and Iran may be in effect, reducing immediate concerns over further military escalation in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46068524/israel-says-iran-broke-trump-ceasefire-orders-high-intensity-strikes-on-tehran"> oil-rich Middle East region.</a>
What To Know: President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Truth Social, claiming that both sides had agreed to a phased halt in hostilities. Iran's foreign ministry pushed back against the assertion but indicated it would stop operations if Israel ceased its attacks. Despite mixed signals, markets responded positively to the prospect of reduced conflict, with Brent crude dropping over 12% from its recent peak.
The sudden decline in oil prices potentially reflects investor reassessment of global supply risks. Over the weekend, U.S. B-2 bombers struck multiple Iranian nuclear facilities, sparking fears of broader regional disruption. However, as tensions began to cool, the likelihood of major oil flow interruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane, also diminished.
Trump administration officials had reportedly discussed contingency plans, including possible emergency releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but those measures may not be necessary if the ceasefire holds. Still, uncertainty lingers, with Israel accusing Iran of breaking the truce and launching missiles Tuesday, prompting further Israeli strikes.
The overall impact has led to volatility across energy markets. Brent crude futures fell to around $68 per barrel and energy-focused ETFs have broadly declined. Analysts remain cautious, citing the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the potential for renewed clashes in a region that supplies nearly one-third of the world's oil.
Price Action: United States Brent Oil shares were down 5.33% at $29.02 and United States Oil shares were down at 5.23% at $71.39 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Benzinga Market Summary: S&P Rises And Oil Falls As Investors Assess Iran's Attack On US Base In Qatar, Tesla Rises On Robotaxi Rollout

Oil is trading lower as investors assess Iran's attack on an American base in Qatar. This attack may have been less severe than expected. Additionally, US Secretary of State Rubio urged China to help prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz as tankers slow navigation in the waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz, accounting for nearly a third of the world&#8217;s oil supply, is once again under geopolitical pressure, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF investors</a> are rushing to reposition.
Over the past month, the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) and the United States Brent Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNO#NYSE">BNO</a>) have spiked 22.25% and 20.26%, respectively. On Saturday, the U.S. conducted airstrikes on three major Iranian nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—and oil prices jumped in response.
Now, energy experts are signaling a possible $100-per-barrel oil situation, particularly if Iran decides to respond by attacking U.S. interests in the Gulf or interfering with global trade through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Bloomberg.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs Riding The Risk Wave</h2>
If tensions further intensify, energy-oriented ETFs may keep rising. Preeminent tickers in consideration are:
USO and BNO – Already surging, they are bellwethers for sentiment on crude.
USO tracks front-month WTI crude oil futures. It is usually the first choice for traders seeking direct exposure to oil price changes. Because of its exposure to front-month futures, USO will be very volatile but also rapidly sensitive to geopolitical shocks such as airstrikes or naval interferences.
BNO reflects Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, and is most applicable when Middle East supply lines are in jeopardy. Brent will spike quicker than WTI in times of global crises, and BNO provides the retail investor with an accessible vehicle to access that.
Invesco DB Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBO#NYSE">DBO</a>) offers futures-based exposure with strong war-time tailwinds. It provides exposure to a longer curve of oil futures, making it less whiplash-prone than USO or BNO. DBO can be a more measured bet for investors who believe the conflict will lead to sustained price appreciation in oil.
SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) plays off the supply disruption theme using upstream producers. Instead of following oil itself, XOP puts capital in upstream energy producers, those that drill and explore for oil. As crude moves higher, the margins for these companies widen, making XOP a high-beta bet on the general energy uptrend. It is essentially a leveraged oil play, but without the leverage.
First Trust Natural Gas ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCG#NYSE">FCG</a>) and United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>)—These ETFs may move if LNG through Hormuz is at risk. If LNG cargo through the Strait of Hormuz becomes disturbed, gas prices, particularly in Europe, may surge. Although these ETFs have not shown a positive reaction yet, they are under watch. FCG also provides equity exposure to U.S.-based natural gas producers, which would profit from Europe panicking for alternative suppliers.
But black gold isn&#8217;t the only one rallying.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defense ETFs On Radar</h2>
As President Donald Trump warned Iran of further strikes unless it abandons its nuclear ambitions, some investors are rotating into defense ETFs amid escalating geopolitical risks.
iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) invests in big-cap defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), and Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>). These companies are at the forefront of any U.S. military buildup, either through the sales of hardware, missile defense systems, or support. As tensions rise, ITA is a favorite among investors who take an educated guess at sustained geopolitical uncertainty.
SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>) is more diversified than ITA. If defense spending increases and new contracts are awarded under wartime terms, XAR might see wider upside potential. It also performs better during times of high volatility because of its equal-weight approach.
Both these ETFs stand to gain as defense budgets swell and military contractors set up for more long-term involvement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Wildcards</h2>
Although markets have factored in the initial attacks, doubt over Iran&#8217;s retaliation plan and Trump&#8217;s extended geopolitical strategy are making traders nervous. One wrong shipping lane missile could send oil above $110, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46051051/oil-prices-iran-strait-of-hormuz-risk-us-attack">according to Goldman Sachs</a>, and ignite wider risk-off sentiment across equities.
For ETF traders, the secret is to position, not panic. This could be a good opportunity for tactical maneuvers in energy and defense funds. But in the era of tweet-induced volatility, one thing&#8217;s certain: ETFs are where the battle lines, and profits, are being drawn.

How A Strait Of Hormuz Shock Could Ignite A Surge In Energy And Defense ETFs

Oil is trading lower amid hopes that Iran does not retaliate against the United States after it joined Israel in striking the country's main nuclear facilities. US Secretary of State Rubio urged China to help prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz as tankers slow navigation in the waterway. President Trump on Truth Social addressed the US Department of Energy and said "DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!"

Benzinga Market Summary: S&P Pulls Back And Oil Surges After President Trump Denies Working On Israel-Iran Ceasefire, Solar Stocks Fall On Trump Tax Bill

Oil is trading higher amid concerns of Israel-Iran escalation. President Trump denied working on a ceasefire and said everyone should evacuate Tehran.

Oil is trading lower following a report suggesting Iran wants to de-escalate Israel hostilities.

The growing Middle Eastern conflict is causing tremors in worldwide markets, leading investors to recalculate their exposure to geopolitical risk. With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45897276/oil-etfs-surge-over-6-as-trump-orders-middle-east-evacuation-amid-iran-tensions-warns-region-could-be-dangerous">oil surging</a>, gold picking up speed, and defense assets gathering strength, some ETFs have gained sharp focus. Yet, beyond the familiar suspects in defense and energy, a more pervasive thematic rotation seems to be coming into focus, spotlighting those <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs providing indirect exposure to increased volatility</a>, inflation fears, and international trade disruptions. These are the &#8216;crisis alpha&#8217; plays — investment strategies that bet on the market trends that occur as a result of a crisis.
on June 11, 2025, U.S. crude futures jumped more than 4% to $68 a barrel, its biggest one-day rise since October on rising disagreements between the U.S. and Iran. Brent Crude prices surged as much as 7% on Friday. Fears in the market were fueled further after Israel launched a surprise attack against Iranian targets on June 12, heightening geopolitical risk in the already volatile region. In turn, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45918802/middle-east-tensions-rattle-markets-us-stock-futures-slide-oil-jumps-8-gold-surges-above-3400-after-israel-strikes-iran">industry-specific ETFs</a> like United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), United States Brent Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNO#NYSE">BNO</a>), and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) saw significant gains.
As energy, gold, and defense ETFs retain safe-haven flows, other thematic funds that will benefit from the broader ramifications of conflict-driven market dislocations are also gaining focus.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Monitor With Rising Middle East Tensions</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation-Protection Tactics</h3>
The price rebound in oil and increasing geopolitical uncertainty have reignited inflation concerns, which have fueled interest in ETFs dedicated to real assets and inflation beneficiaries. The Horizon Kinetics Inflation Beneficiaries ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFL#NYSE">INFL</a>) and the ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RINF#NYSE">RINF</a>) give investors access to companies and assets likely to fare well in an inflationary environment. If crude oil continues higher, inflation-sensitive groups could see increased interest in the days to come. INFL has gained around 1% after Israel attacked Iran and is up 0.35% as of 10.23 a.m. ET, Friday.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Supply Chain And Shipping Risks</h3>
With the United Kingdom issuing its own maritime warning about possible disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for global oil shipments, shipping and global logistics-based ETFs might see increased attention. The Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>), which is up 6.7% this week so far, offers focused exposure to firms engaged in international shipping and logistics, groups of companies frequently touched by geopolitical tensions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cybersecurity And New Defense</h3>
As the nature of new warfare spreads beyond territorial limits to the cyberspace arena, ETFs dedicated to surveillance and cybersecurity are becoming more pertinent. The ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>), with a portfolio of firms engaged in safeguarding digital infrastructure, would profit from the growing demand for cyber defense against the threat of retaliatory strikes on essential systems.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility Trading Products</h3>
For traders and tactical investors, the growing uncertainty has renewed interest in volatility-linked ETFs. Vehicles like the ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIXM#BATS">VIXM</a>) and the Barclays iPath Series B S&amp;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXX#BATS">VXX</a>) are used to hedge against market fluctuation. VIXM is up 2%, and VXX has gained 5% as of 10.23 a.m. ET, Friday. The ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVXY#BATS">SVXY</a>) provides traders with an opportunity to bet on a possible cooling-off in volatility after high-stakes negotiation. Right now though, the ETF is down nearly 3% on Friday morning.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Rotation Into "Crisis Alpha" Plays</h2>
The market reaction is no longer just about oil. Investor interest is broadening into ETFs that provide thematic exposure to sectors positioned to weather systemic shocks—whether that's through inflation protection, supply chain resilience, or cybersecurity.
While diplomatic channels continue to be uncertain and tensions exhibit no near-term tendency to de-escalate, investors might continue to find shelter in ETFs, which provide both defensive positioning and opportunistic upside. With top-level meetings between the U.S. and Iran set for this Sunday in Oman, the result may turn out to be crucial not just for diplomatic stability but also for ETF market dynamics in the near term.
