Gold Prices Soar After U.S. Capture of Venezuelan President Maduro

The capture of Venezuelan President Maduro by the U.S. led to a sharp spike in gold and silver prices, highlighting investor fears and geopolitical uncertainties. President Trump's bold military move in Venezuela caused a surge in gold prices to over $4,400 per ounce, with experts attributing the rise to a combination of factors including central bank interest rate cuts and geopolitical fears.

Analysts caution that Venezuela's oil industry may not see an immediate revival despite Trump's intervention, as it requires significant investment and expertise.
