<p>Oil prices continue to rise on Wednesday, adding to gains driven by potential supply disruptions in the Middle East and fresh warnings out of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">known as <strong>OPEC+</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> <strong>Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman</strong>, the oil minister of Saudi Arabia, has warned that prices could fall to $50 per barrel if global oil producers don&#8217;t comply with production curbs, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/saudi-minister-warns-of-50-oil-as-opec-members-flout-production-curbs-216dc070?mod=hp_lead_pos4">report</a> from the Wall Street Journal. </p>
<p>The report indicates the Saudi oil minister&#8217;s comments are being viewed as a threat that Saudi Arabia is willing to start a pricing war to help maintain its market share.</p>
<p>Oil prices had been in decline before jumping this week amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rising Middle East tensions</a>. Iran launched an attack on Israel Tuesday following the recent killing of Hezbollah leader <strong>Hassan Nasrallah</strong>, reportedly firing between 100 and 200 missiles toward Israel.</p>
<p>Brent Crude futures, the international benchmark, climbed as much as 5% on Tuesday before pulling back and finishing the day up about 2.4%. Brent Crude futures were up 2.75%, trading around $75.50 at the time of writing Wednesday, while front-month<strong>&nbsp;</strong>WTI Crude futures were up 3.06%, hovering around $72. </p>
<p>Saudi Arabia reportedly needs prices to be at least $85 per barrel in order to help fund its planned economic transformation. </p>
<p>The rising tensions in the Middle East are also likely to push up prices of U.S. gasoline. According to an ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/rising-oil-prices-after-iran-strike-increase-us/story?id=114394795">report</a>, drivers could see prices at the pump rise between 10 cents and 15 cents per gallon.</p>
<p>The <strong>United States Oil Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) was up 2.7% at $74.06 and the<strong> IShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF</strong> (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>) was up 2.24% at $93.50 at last check.

Oil Prices Spike, Energy Stocks Jump After Iran's Missile Attack On Israel: What Investors Need To Know

<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><strong>ConocoPhillips </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) shares closed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COP/earnings">higher on Tuesday</a>.</p>
<p>Shares of energy companies traded higher during the session as tensions in the Middle East heightened. </p>
<p>Some investors may be eyeing potential gains from ConocoPhillips' dividends. As of now, the crude oil producer offers an annual dividend yield of 2.85%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 78 cents per share ($3.12 a year).</p>
<p>To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from ConocoPhillips, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).</p>
<p>Next, we take this amount and divide it by ConocoPhillips' $3.12 dividend: $6,000 / $3.12 = 1,923 shares</p>
<p><strong>So, an investor would need to own approximately $210,319 worth of ConocoPhillips, or 1,923 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $3.12 = 385 shares, or $42,107 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.</strong></p>
<p>Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.</p>
<p>The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.</p>
<p>For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).</p>
<p>Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).</p>
<p>Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> Shares of ConocoPhillips gained by 3.9% to close at $109.37 on Tuesday.</p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<h3>Comparing ConocoPhillips's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ConocoPhillips's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.91%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
