Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is set to appear in a US court following the recent military raid that led to his capture. The development has escalated geopolitical tensions in the region.
US President Donald Trump warned reporters that the US could order additional strikes if Venezuela does not cooperate with efforts to open its oil industry and curb drug trafficking. Trump emphasized that further action is possible to ensure compliance with US strategic and economic objectives.
Analysts say that this situation is likely to keep global energy and commodity markets on edge, as prolonged uncertainty in Venezuela could impact oil supply and prices, with knock-on effects for import-dependent economies like India.
Investors are advised to watch oil price trends, US-Venezuela developments, and geopolitical statements closely, as these factors may continue to drive volatility in energy and defence stocks worldwide.
