Why venezuela’s political transition has left oil markets largely unmoved

Oil markets have largely ignored Venezuela’s political transition, as structural constraints prevent any rapid increase in supply. Production capacity is limited, infrastructure is degraded, and investment economics remain unattractive at current prices. While Venezuela’s vast reserves may matter in the 2030s if prices rise and politics stabilize, they pose little risk to global oil balances in the near term.

Chart Alert: Silver (XAG/USD) intraday rally is fast approaching key resistance

Silver (XAG/USD) has staged a sharp intraday rebound after a steep sell-off, but technical signals suggest the rally may be corrective rather than the start of a new uptrend.

When the radar goes dark: Navigating the market after the COT report delay

The 43-day COT report delay led to a data vacuum, allowing "managed money" to build crowded, unseen positions. The eventual backfilled data caused a "positioning shock" in markets like soybeans, triggering sharp reversals. This event highlights the major risk of market opacity and the potential for a "volatility explosion" when speculative sentiment data is unavailable.

Gold (XAU/USD) Slips 1.2% Before 50-Day MA Provides Support. Acceptance Above $4500/oz Remains Key

Gold (XAU/USD) price dipped 1.2% before finding support at the 50-day MA ($4419/oz), but acceptance above $4500/oz is key. Geopolitical risks (US/Venezuela/Russia tensions, Greenland acquisition talks) and softer US employment data (job openings, ADP) are underpinning the metal. Investors now focus on Friday's NFP data, which is set to be the next catalyst. Technical support is strong, but a strong NFP could threaten $4400/oz.
