The U.S. side's capture of the Venezuelan president and Donald Trump's statements about restoring the country's oil infrastructure have impacted the global oil market.
On January 5, in trading, the price of Brent crude oil fell by 0.7 percent, amounting to $60.33 per barrel. WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil became cheaper by 0.54 percent, dropping to $56.01.
Market participants expect an increase in global oil supply following Trump's promises that US companies will enter Venezuela and restore the damaged oil infrastructure and invest billions of dollars.
It is noted that this factor has led to the decrease in prices.
