đš OIL JUST ENTERED THE WAR ROOM đš
This isnât a routine seizure.
This is geopolitics hitting the energy market in real time.
đșđž The U.S. just seized another vessel near Venezuela â and this one was Chinese-owned.
đąïž ~1.8 MILLION BARRELS
đ»đȘ Venezuelaâs premium heavy crude: Merey 16
đšđł Final destination: China
Thatâs not cargo.
Thatâs leverage.
---
â ïž WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL
Merey 16 is Venezuelaâs top export blend â heavy, high-margin, and tailor-made for complex refineries.
Losing 1.8M barrels isnât noise⊠itâs a real supply hit.
Now connect the dots đ
âą U.S. enforcement around Venezuela is tightening
âą China is deeply plugged into sanctioned energy flows
âą Oil trade is colliding head-on with geopolitics
This isnât about oil anymore.
This is about control of energy routes.

đ ZOOM OUT
đ„ Sanctions are being enforced, not just discussed
đ„ ChinaâVenezuela energy ties are under direct pressure
đ„ Every seized tanker shrinks effective global supply
Markets donât wait for confirmation.
They reprice first.
---
đ MARKET TAKE
đą Bullish pressure on crude
đą Geopolitical risk premium expanding
đą Volatility back for energy-linked assets
Energy is back to being a weapon, not just a commodity.
When ships get seizedâŠ
When barrels disappearâŠ
When politics meets supplyâŠ
đ„ Price reacts.
Watch the tankers.
Watch the choke points.
Watch oil.
