According to @StockMKTNewz citing Reuters, the first two cargo ships carrying Venezuelan oil exported by Chevron (CVX) after receiving a fresh U.S. authorization last month have departed for the United States (source: Reuters). Additional Venezuelan barrels increase U.S.-bound supply, and increases in crude supply generally put downward pressure on prices under global supply-demand dynamics (source: U.S. Energy Information Administration). Energy prices carry a meaningful weight in U.S. headline CPI, so oil moves feed directly into inflation prints that markets track (source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). The Federal Reserve targets 2 percent inflation, making inflation data a key driver of policy expectations that influence risk assets (source: Federal Reserve). Crypto markets have shown stronger co-movement with equities and macro shocks since 2020, so policy- and inflation-driven risk sentiment can spill over to BTC and ETH volatility and liquidity (source: International Monetary Fund).
