As soon as America launched a ground attack on its neighboring country Venezuela, geopolitical tension has increased in the beginning of 2026. Under the leadership of Donald Trump, America has claimed to occupy Venezuela. America has suddenly attacked Venezuela and arrested its President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
This attack by America is likely to affect the global market. Changes may be seen in the prices of crude oil and other precious commodities. Because Venezuela not only has oil reserves, but also gold and other metals in large quantities.
Oil prices were at their lowest level in four years
Only last month, oil prices were at their lowest level in four years. US President Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric against Venezuela. Apart from these, tension has increased in many areas of the world including China and Taiwan.
By the time the market closed on Friday, the price of Brent crude was above $60, but its price has been falling for the last few days. There is every possibility of change in this trend on Monday.
America will take charge of Venezuela
Venezuela has the largest reserves of crude oil. Trump has made it clear that America will repair Venezuela’s damaged energy infrastructure, for now the administrative command of the country will be in his hands.
Venezuela has immense reserves of oil, but the country is still facing many stringent sanctions. Its supply is limited. IEA has warned that the supply shortage will last into 2026.
Investment may be seen in gold
Apart from the prices of crude oil, people can invest in gold. Gold prices have touched the best price figures in the year 2025. This has been seen for the first time since 1979, that is, an increase of 70% has been seen in the prices of gold in so many years. After America’s attack, there may be a lot of change in their prices.
