The market reaction doesn't lie. The response to the American intervention resulted in one of the biggest gains in history.

The Caracas Stock Exchange surged +50% today alone!

The reason? Trump warned who's in charge now!

The "Freedom Rally"

The numbers are insane.
Since December 23rd, when the pressure increased, the Venezuelan stock market has accumulated a gain of +148%.

Basically, those who bet on the fall of the regime more than doubled their capital in two weeks.

The market is pricing in a "total reform".

"I am innocent"

The Chavista era is ending. Maduro appeared yesterday in federal court in NY wearing a prison uniform and handcuffs.

To the judge, he declared himself "innocent" of all charges and shouted that he was a "prisoner of war" and still "president".

He remains imprisoned at MDC Brooklyn.

Who's in charge? "ME."

While Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's former vice president, tries to establish herself as "interim president," NBC asked Trump who really governs Venezuela now.

The answer was one word: "Me."

Trump listed his intervention team (Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth) and bypassed any formalities.

The Warning to Delcy

Trump was clear about the future of Maduro's successor.

He said the US will "run" the country until a sensible transition and warned: if Delcy doesn't cooperate and "do the right thing," she will "pay a much higher price" than Maduro paid.

Why did the stock market explode?

First, the context: the Caracas Stock Exchange was a ghost market. It was abandoned, without volume, under sanctions, and ignored by the world.

The shock of "Trump in command" resurrected the assets.

The investor now projects:

✅ Dollarization of the economy;

✅ Asset protection via military force;

✅ End of expropriations;

✅ Market opening.

It's the purchase of reconstruction.

Politics discusses narratives.

The market anticipates the future.

And the future the market sees is a Venezuela rebuilt under American tutelage.
