Why venezuela’s political transition has left oil markets largely unmoved
Oil markets have largely ignored Venezuela’s political transition, as structural constraints prevent any rapid increase in supply. Production capacity is limited, infrastructure is degraded, and investment economics remain unattractive at current prices. While Venezuela’s vast reserves may matter in the 2030s if prices rise and politics stabilize, they pose little risk to global oil balances in the near term.

Chart Alert: Silver (XAG/USD) intraday rally is fast approaching key resistance
Silver (XAG/USD) has staged a sharp intraday rebound after a steep sell-off, but technical signals suggest the rally may be corrective rather than the start of a new uptrend. With prices nearing the key US$79.86 resistance ahead of US non-farm payrolls, failure to break higher could trigger another down leg toward US$74 and US$70 in the first step.
