So here's an interesting geopolitical angle: if Maduro and Trump ever sit down for talks, what's Venezuela's bargaining chip? Oil, obviously.

Venezuela's sitting on massive crude reserves, and with sanctions still biting, any deal could reshape energy flows. For markets, this isn't just about barrels per day—it's about how commodity shifts ripple through risk assets. Lower oil prices from increased supply? That could ease inflation pressures and impact broader market sentiment.

Worth watching how geopolitical chess moves like this play out. Energy markets don't exist in a vacuum, and neither do our portfolios.
