๐ Oil Markets Just Took a Real Hit.
๐จ Breaking:
The U.S. has seized a Chinese-owned tanker near Venezuela carrying 1.8M barrels of Merey-16 crude.
This isnโt rhetoric or red tape โ this is physical supply removed from the market.
๐ Why this matters:
โข Sanctions arenโt just warnings anymore โ theyโre stopping ships
โข The ChinaโVenezuela oil corridor is now under real pressure
โข Global supply was already tightโฆ now itโs tighter
โ ๏ธMarket reaction loading:
โข Oil prices: upward pressure
โข Geopolitical risk premium: rising
โข Energy volatility: back on the table
โข Inflation fears: starting to whisper again
๐ข๏ธ Simple math:
Seized tankers = fewer barrels
Fewer barrels = higher prices
Higher energy prices = everything moves โ stocks, bonds, FX, crypto
Markets felt it fast ๐
$FHE -9.25% | $TAC -7.02% | $RESOLV -13.71%
This is how supply shocks start.
