Venezuela's Maduro Capture Shakes Energy Markets
Update: 2026-01-06
Description
Venezuelas political turmoil escalates as Nicolás Maduro is captured, leading to a U.S.-backed transition. The military and oil giant PDVSA remain under the same command, but exports are squeezed. Latin American governments condemn the move, and the opposition is sidelined. This forced transition sparks worry in oil markets, with PDVSA cutting output and troops potentially disrupting ports and fields. Beyond Venezuela, the capture sends a chill to Iran, blurring lines between talk and action, and muddying Red Sea security in Yemen and Somalia. Energy markets face fragmentation, driving up costs, freight, and insurance through vital routes, leading to higher prices and twitchy supply chains. Checkout Solipillow.com
