Good morning everyone! I'll tell you how far I've gotten with my research and I'm looking for help from those who know more than me
Now oil is cheap to keep Russia weak, they have lower margins compared to the US and keeping the price low weakens Putin
The speculation I thought of is that:
Venezuela has among the largest oil reserves but their market is underdeveloped because it's sour oil, it's dirty as shit and they need more processing
I was thinking that a peace deal between the USA and Venezuela would surely contain agreements for this oil, Trump would be able to flood the market and weaken Putin
I was also thinking about this other alternative: They are planning to destroy Venezuela's oil export infrastructure. Venezuela is the only remaining major oil exporting country that does not recycle its earnings into USD assets. The United States is now a major exporter. Destroying Venezuelan infrastructure would eliminate a major competitor and raise prices, greatly and easily increasing US exports, without costing anything in terms of USD dominance.
I would love to open up a conversation about this topic and figure out how to make some money with this information
