Oil Stocks Rise as Prices Spike, 3 Companies Gain Attention

Energy markets have regained their spotlight as G20 finance leaders meet in Asheville, trade-policy risks escalate between major economies, and renewed U.S. Iran clashes push oil prices more than 3% higher.

This mix of events can create uncertainty for broad indices but also presents opportunities for investors who carefully examine how supply, shipping routes, and refining margins might shift.

Three stocks that appear positively exposed to these developments are Meren Energy (TSX:MER), Tourmaline Oil (TSX:TOU), and SM Energy (SM).
