Act of war?

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured in a large-scale operation and flown out of the country. Explosions and military activity were reported across Caracas and other regions during the assault, marking a major escalation.

This follows months of U.S. pressure and actions aimed at dismantling Maduro’s regime, long accused of corruption and narco-terrorism.

Possible market impact:

• Rising geopolitical risk → stronger demand for USD & gold
• Oil volatility likely, given Venezuela’s massive crude reserves
• Crypto may attract capital as a hedge amid global uncertainty

This isn’t just breaking news,
it reshapes risk perception across emerging markets and commodities.

Sincerely,
