Group 1: Market Reactions - Following the U.S. intervention in Venezuela, gold and silver prices surged, with gold rising nearly 2% to surpass $4,400 per ounce and silver increasing over 4% to exceed $75 per ounce, while Brent crude oil initially dropped 1.2% to $60 per barrel before rebounding [1][2] - The geopolitical tensions surrounding Venezuela have introduced uncertainty into the market, with analysts suggesting that the military actions may limit the short-term rise in gold prices, but potential further U.S. military involvement could provide mid-term support for gold [2][3] Group 2: Oil Market Dynamics - Venezuela holds approximately 17% of the world's oil reserves, valued at $17 trillion, yet its current production is below 1 million barrels per day, significantly impacting global supply dynamics [4][6] - OPEC+ has maintained its production targets, reflecting concerns over weak demand rather than geopolitical conflicts, and has agreed to pause production increases through early 2026 [5] - The U.S. sanctions have led to a near halt in Venezuela's oil exports, with the state-owned PDVSA reducing production due to storage capacity issues and ongoing restrictions [6][8] Group 3: Long-term Outlook - Analysts predict that if the situation stabilizes, U.S. oil companies may return to Venezuela, potentially increasing oil production and exerting downward pressure on global oil prices [7][9] - Historical precedents suggest that regime changes do not guarantee immediate stabilization of oil supplies, as seen in Libya and Iraq, indicating that Venezuela's recovery in oil production will be a lengthy and challenging process [10]
