On January 9 local time, U.S. President Donald Trump held a meeting with executives from some of the world's largest oil companies at the White House. Trump stated that major oil companies would invest at least $100 billion to rebuild the necessary production capacity and infrastructure for Venezuela's oil industry. Trump also pledged to provide security guarantees for U.S. oil companies.

PriceSeek's analysis of crude oil, with a long-short score of -1.5, indicates that U.S. President Trump's commitment to major American oil companies investing $100 billion in rebuilding Venezuela's oil industry, along with security assurances, will directly increase global crude oil supply. As one of the world's major oil-producing countries, the recovery and enhancement of Venezuela's production capacity could lead to oversupply in the spot market, exerting significant downward pressure on crude oil spot prices. Given the substantial investment scale and the involvement of major global oil companies, this event is expected to have a moderately significant bearish impact on short- to medium-term price expectations.
