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.

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.
