US Attacks Venezuela, Maduro Arrested: Why Oil Prices Fell Despite Tensions

• Crude oil prices fell despite a US attack on Venezuela and President Nicolas Maduro's arrest.
• Brent Crude remained near $60 and West Texas Intermediate near $57 per barrel.
• Prices did not rise due to global market oversupply and weak demand, despite Venezuela's large reserves.
• US sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry remain, but US companies may invest in infrastructure.
• Experts warn prices could fall further if Venezuela's sanctions are lifted, increasing supply.

Why It Matters: Oil prices dropped after US attack on Venezuela due to global oversupply, not geopolitical tension.
