Oil prices jumped and Asian shares were mostly lower Monday after the U.S. carried out airstrikes and Iran retaliated. The price of Brent crude, the international standard, gained 3.9% to $78.96 per barrel, while U.S. benchmark crude oil added 4% to $74.26 per barrel. Prices for both types of crude oil recently had slipped back to the levels they were at before the war with Iran began, after the two sides set an interim agreement on ending the conflict and ships resumed transporting oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil swung more than $40 a barrel in a single quarter, and two energy giants absorbed that whiplash in very different ways. Which approach holds up better when crude keeps sliding matters a great deal for retirees counting on steady income.

The US-Iran ceasefire is fracturing, Brent is climbing, and energy stocks are repricing fast. Whether this is a temporary spike or the beginning of a sustained oil shock will reshape the Fed's next move and every duration-sensitive position in your portfolio.

The company is an operational powerhouse, but a single, long-term disruption in a key business could test the limits of its strength.
