Options premiums for major energy stocks remain elevated amid uncertainty tied to the military conflict in the Gulf, creating what CNBC Markets frames as a potential opportunity for traders.

The outlet says the setup is especially notable for oil majors posting record free cash flow, including Chevron and other large peers.

CNBC Markets adds that elevated premiums can make selling puts on energy companies a more compelling strategy than usual given current pricing in the options market.
