U.S. refineries have long lacked a specific type of crude oil—heavy sour crude. Ironically, Venezuela happens to stockpile large quantities of this type of oil. However, with the current tense U.S.-Canada relations and traditional supply chains facing uncertainties, the geopolitical risks behind this supply gap are quietly reshaping the global energy landscape. This also indirectly affects energy costs, inflation expectations, and consequently impacts the entire asset allocation.

Real gold and silver are all messed up by geopolitical issues. If the energy supply chain is cut off, the entire asset allocation will have to be reshuffled.

The geopolitical risk has really been underestimated. Tensions between the US and China are causing global asset allocation to suffer.

Energy politics are truly incredible. Venezuela has oil, but the U.S. can't get it. Isn't this a real reflection of geopolitical game-playing?

Venezuela's oil stockpiling, but the US can't get it... This is the power of geopolitics. Energy costs are going to rise, and wallets will get thinner.

Laughing out loud, this is what people in the crypto circle often call "the black swan knocking on the door." Once the energy chain is broken, inflation expectations soar, asset allocation instantly changes, are all the leek farmers ready?

When the energy supply chain changes, asset allocation is completely thrown into disarray... This is the power of geopolitical influence.

Once geopolitical tensions flare up, the global energy landscape must be reshuffled, and this wave will definitely impact asset allocation...

The oil from Venezuela is no longer needed. Now everyone is optimistic about the Middle East. Geopolitical risk is the real variable that truly affects asset allocation.

Energy geopolitics has always been a focus of mine, and this deadlock between the US and Venezuela will indeed impact major asset classes.
