$100 billion.. is the price of "regime change" in Venezuela.
Financial markets have no feelings, nor do they waste time on political moral analyses.. they only evaluate "opportunities" and move towards them at lightning speed.
The news of "Maduro's" arrest was not just a headline, but a signal for the American energy sector to launch. Look at the list: Chevron (CVX) jumps 11%, and Valero (VLO) follows suit by the same percentage.
The result? Adding $100 billion to the market value of these companies in just a few hours. - Why this excessive excitement? The secret lies in the type of oil. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, but it is of the "heavy" (Heavy Crude) type.
The paradox is that American refineries in the Gulf of Mexico (which are owned by companies like Valero and Phillips 66) are engineered to handle this heavy oil with maximum efficiency.
For years, these refineries were "hungry" due to sanctions. Today, the market bets that the "faucets" will be reopened, and companies like Chevron will be the field engineers for this return.
