Financial institution Dutch International Group released an analysis report on the 5th stating that as the financial market ushered in its first trading week in 2026, the market's attention was focused heavily on the US attack on Venezuela. Investors will evaluate its short-, medium-, and long-term effects, as well as the impact on broader regional and international relationships. In response to the incident that occurred in Venezuela on the 3rd, the market's initial reaction was a mild “safe-haven” trend: gold and the Swiss franc were sought after, and the US dollar also received some support. Stock index futures do not seem to be overreacting to the current state of affairs, and the crude oil market is fluctuating as we are still evaluating the short-term and medium- to long-term effects of the incident on Venezuelan oil production. In the medium to long term, the market impact depends on the extent to which Venezuelan oil production can be increased. If the country's production rises to an average of 2.5 million to 3 million barrels per day, it may take 5 to 10 years.
