全球瞭望丨荷兰国际集团：美国冒险主义对美元和石油意味着什么

Core Viewpoint - The analysis report from ING highlights the market's focus on the recent U.S. attack on Venezuela and its potential short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts on regional and international relations [1] Group 1: Immediate Market Reactions - The initial market reaction to the January 3rd event in Venezuela was a mild "risk-off" sentiment, with gold and Swiss franc gaining traction, while the dollar received some support [1] - Stock index futures did not show excessive reaction to the current situation, while the oil market remained volatile as it assessed the short-term and medium-term impacts on Venezuela's oil production [1] Group 2: Currency and Commodity Implications - Investors may prefer the liquidity of the dollar in the face of uncertainty in the coming days, which could put pressure on Latin American currencies, particularly the Colombian peso and potentially the Mexican peso [1] - The oil market is expected to face increased uncertainty regarding supply, with short-term impacts largely dependent on the nature of the power transition in Venezuela [1] Group 3: Long-term Projections - The long-term market impact will depend on how much Venezuela can increase its oil production, which may take 5 to 10 years to reach levels of 2.5 to 3 million barrels per day [2] - The euro to dollar exchange rate has faced pressure after briefly exceeding 1.18 in late December 2025, with future developments in Venezuela potentially influencing further declines in the euro [2] Group 4: Geopolitical Considerations - Geopolitical factors are significant, as U.S. President Trump has not ruled out the possibility of deploying ground troops to Venezuela, which could lead to a complex military situation in multiple Latin American countries [2] - If the U.S. becomes embroiled in such conflicts, investors may adopt a more pessimistic outlook on U.S. fiscal health and the dollar's future [2]
