According to Reuters , international investors and economists are assessing the US arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a particularly serious geopolitical escalation, rarely seen in modern international relations. However, most believe the immediate impact on the global economy will be limited, unlikely to create a widespread shock to world financial markets. Analysts predict that the overall market is likely to remain relatively stable, while the most noticeable impact will be concentrated in the energy sector, particularly oil prices and assets related to Latin America.
According to analysts, this event is not enough to immediately plunge the global economy into a sharp recession, but it significantly increases the risks from geopolitical headlines. These risks could subtly impact investor sentiment, how Capital flows are allocated, and how markets price risk in the long term, rather than triggering a massive global sell-off. Against a backdrop of high interest rates and pre-existing geopolitical tensions in many regions, the direct US action in Venezuela has made investors even more cautious about risky assets.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump confirmed that Washington had launched a large-scale attack on Venezuela. In a shocking statement, Trump said the US had successfully apprehended President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and removed them from Venezuelan territory. According to him, this operation was carried out in coordination with multiple US law enforcement and security agencies, marking an unprecedented tough step against the Caracas government.
