At the close of trading on the morning of January 6th (Vietnam time), both the US stock and commodity markets recorded positive signs. This trading session is being closely watched, as it reflects investors' perceptions regarding the US-Venezuela tensions.

All three major US stock market indices saw gains in the first trading session of the week. The Dow Jones index was the strongest performer, rising over 1.2% to close at a new record high of 48,977 points.

Shares of companies operating in the oil and gas sector led the gains on expectations that Venezuela's oil infrastructure will be rebuilt in the near future.

According to expert analysis, investors currently believe that US military intervention in Venezuela will not lead to larger conflicts that would negatively impact the market.

Developments in the oil market also clearly demonstrate this trend. Prices for both Brent and WTI crude oil rose by less than 2%, consistent with previous forecasts. This indicates that investors underestimated the scenario of potentially tightening oil supply in the near future.

On the commodities market, gold prices also recorded a sharp increase. This development shows that investors still tend to avoid risk, in the context of the current potential for unexpected geopolitical instability.
