Risky Assets Could Suffer After U.S. Operation in Venezuela -- Market Talk
Dow Jones01-05
0809 GMT - Investors could avoid buying risky assets such as stocks and corporate bonds amid rising political uncertainty in South America after U.S. captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, Activtrades' Tim Ritschar says in a note. "Since Venezuela possesses significant oil reserves, market participants are closely monitoring the reaction of energy prices and the resulting inflation expectations," he says. Should geopolitical uncertainty persist, appetite for risk assets could fall in the short term, Ritschar says. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
