The evolution of the international situation often causes turbulence in financial markets, and a series of recent events have once again validated this point.

A major turning point has occurred in Venezuela's political landscape, with the domestic stock market soaring 17% in a single day. This rapid political change is accompanied by intense fluctuations in the capital markets, reflecting the market's expectations and pricing of the new political landscape. Some analysts believe that the new leadership's relationship with Russia could become a new variable in geopolitical dynamics, further intensifying the reassessment of global risk assets.

From the energy market perspective, Venezuela, as a major global oil producer, exports approximately 2 million barrels per day. Political instability has directly increased the volatility of crude oil futures. International crude oil prices are facing upward pressure, which will transmit to the global energy cost system.

The response of the crypto market is also worth noting. Against the backdrop of rising geopolitical risks and increased expectations of fiat currency depreciation, digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are beginning to attract capital as non-traditional safe-haven tools. Safe-haven assets like gold and cryptocurrencies are moving in tandem, indicating that institutions and investors are rebalancing their risk exposure.

However, it is important to remind that during major international events, retail investors are prone to fall into two traps: one is rushing into the market upon seeing related news, only to buy high; the other is frequent trading in an attempt to catch volatility, which ultimately erodes profits through transaction fees. Market opportunities often belong to those who observe calmly and make precise judgments.
