Recent reports of potential U.S. military involvement in Venezuela and developments surrounding President Maduro should not be framed as democracy or human-rights driven narratives.
đ This is about power. Energy. Money.
đ»đȘ Venezuela controls ~303 BILLION barrels of proven oil reserves â the largest on the planet, surpassing even Saudi Arabia.
⥠Why this matters to global markets:
If the U.S. reasserts influence over Venezuelan oil exports, it could open the door to a modern petrodollar revival, echoing the 1970s U.S.âSaudi oil framework:
âą Oil trade increasingly priced in USD
âą Rising global dollar demand
âą Oil revenues recycled into U.S. Treasuries
âą Structural USD strength, even as de-dollarization narratives grow
đ” Energy control = monetary control
đ Energy supremacy and dollar supremacy remain tightly linked
đ Volatility Watch (Energy Exposure):
âą $MYX
âą $CVX
đ Traders should closely monitor energy markets, USD liquidity flows, CPI data, and Federal Reserve policy.
This is not a regional story â itâs a macro power shift in motion.
