Maduro’s capture creating volatility in the oil market as untapped reserves to open
Oil prices climbed modestly Monday after the Trump administration orchestrated the dramatic overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, casting uncertainty over the future of the OPEC nation’s vast crude reserves while Trump called for massive U.S. investments to revive crumbling Venezuelan infrastructure.
Venezuela holds massive reserves: Venezuela with over 303 billion barrels, has the world’s largest proven crude reserves, but current production lingers at just 800,000 barrels per day after decades of decline.
Trump pushes U.S. investment: President Trump has vowed major American oil firms will pour billions into fixing Venezuela’s dilapidated infrastructure despite ongoing U.S. embargo on exports.
Analysts warn short-term risks: Goldman Sachs highlights potential supply disruptions from instability, though sanctions relief could gradually boost output under a stable transition.
Long-term revival challenges: Experts estimate $10 billion annually needed for turnaround, with orderly power shift possibly adding hundreds of thousands of barrels daily within a year.
Copper rockets toward all-time record high
Copper prices surged as much as 3.5% toward a record high near $13,000 a ton Monday, fueled by looming U.S. tariff threats under President Trump that are spurring massive imports and distorting global supplies amid robust demand.
Tariff Threats Drive Imports: Trump’s plans to revisit primary copper tariffs in 2026 are reviving arbitrage trades, prompting traders to flood the U.S. with shipments ahead of potential duties.
Supply Disruptions Intensify Tightness: A strike at Chile’s Mantoverde mine underscores shipment risks, contributing to near-term market volatility on the London Metal Exchange.
Record Gains Mark 2025: Copper posted a staggering 42% rise last year—its strongest performance since 2009—driven by expanding global demand tied to the energy market.
Shortage Forecast for 2026: Analysts predict a global refined copper deficit exceeding 100,000 tons next year, despite a 2025 surplus distorted by U.S. inventory buildup.
Bitcoin surges past $92,000 to open 2026

Historical pattern: January’s gains after a rare three-month declines is being viewed as optimistic , with portfolio rebalancing expected to provide tailwinds and further upsides.
