U.S. Actions in Venezuela Shouldn't Impact Global Bonds for Now -- Market Talk
Dow Jones01-05
1532 GMT - The U.S. ousting of Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, isn't likely to considerably impact global bonds in the near term, TwentyFour Asset Management's Felipe Villarroel says in a note. "Venezuela is a small country from a GDP point of view, and its relevance in the oil markets has diminished as the country's infrastructure is severely underinvested." However, possible escalation of geopolicital conflicts in South America, Europe, and Asia could push up inflation and make sovereign bonds less appealing, he says. "Portfolios should be liquid to change exposures quickly if needed as geopolitical risks are not going away." (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
