US EditionOil stocks sharply higher after US action in Venezuela
U.S. plans to rebuild Venezuela's energy sector boost shares of major oil companies by up to 7.8%, driven by access to 17% of the world's proven oil reserves, analysts said.
- On Jan 5, Wall Street opened higher as stocks rose in morning trading led by energy and technology companies, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 504 points by 10:01 a.m. Eastern.
- On January 3, 2026, U.S. Special Forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flew him to New York, while President Donald Trump said the U.S. would `run` Venezuela temporarily.
- U.S. crude futures rose 1.3% to $58.07 per barrel and Brent crude climbed 1.1% to $61.43 as SLB and Halliburton jumped 7%–8%, with refiners up 5%–6%.
- Boosting output will require years and millions of dollars in infrastructure and investment, as Venezuela's oil output could double or triple, with JPMorgan projecting 2.5 mbd over a decade.
- On Jan 5 Reuters noted the capture removes an ally from Vladimir Putin and could strengthen U.S. oil clout, while Russian state media called it a U.S. kidnapping and Michael Burry said the 'game just changed'.
