Stock Market flyes at Venezuelan after Nicolas Maduro Took Control by US

Record Surge in Venezuela's Stock Market

Venezuela's stock market has witnessed an unprecedented scene. On January 3, 2026, the United States took control of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Following this, the open stock market set a new record in the country.

The market surged in such a way that it broke all previous records. On the same day, the main stock index, the 'IBC Index,' rose by 367 points. The soaring stocks increased by 16.45%, closing at 2,598 points. Maduro's arrest has raised hopes that political changes may occur, U.S. sanctions might be lifted, and the economy could return to stability.

After this record-breaking surge, the market appeared relatively calm on January 6. This small correction following the large rise indicates that investors are in a 'wait and watch' mode. Currently, the market remains stable around 2,598 points.

Venezuela has long suffered from economic crises and international isolation. Investors viewed Maduro's arrest as the most positive development for the stock market to date, welcoming the market as 'bullish.' Currently, there is a significant increase in interest in private sector companies, excluding the oil industry.
