Overview
A fresh political headline is rippling through energy markets: Donald Trump says Venezuela will “turn over” 30m–50m barrels of crude to the US, a move framed as adding supply into an already oversupplied market. The immediate market read-through is lower oil prices, while live market coverage also notes broader risk sentiment wobbling across equities and commodities.
