0753 GMT - The U.S. ouster of Venezuelan President Maduro is dominating headlines, but the geopolitical unrest hasn't had a strong impact on markets, Handelsbanken's Marius Gonsholt Hov and Nils Kristian Knudsen write. The Asian stock market is characterized by continued optimism, again pulled up by the technology sector, while stock futures for both the U.S. and Europe are clearly positive, they say. The oil price has fluctuated somewhat on the news, but has barely changed overall. At the same time, there are only small movements in the fixed-income market, which doesn't signal a significant flight to safety, they add. Meanwhile, the gold price is up to a new high.
