Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – January 19, 2026: Netflix and Intel are set to report earnings this week, with investors closely watching both companies for confirmation of their growth and turnaround narratives, according to Zavier Wong, Market Analyst at eToro.

Abu Dhabi, 12 January 2026 – Global oil markets have remained relatively steady despite renewed geopolitical tensions between the United States and Venezuela, with crude prices continuing to trade within a narrow range. While Venezuela holds some of the world's largest proven oil reserves, decades of mismanagement, underinvestment and international sanctions have significantly curtailed its production capacity. As a result, the country currently contributes only a marginal share to global oil supply. Commenting on the situation, Sam North, Market Analyst at eToro , said: “Venezuela's current oil output, now below 500,000 barrels per day, represents less than 1% of global supply. At these levels, its production has little influence on global oil prices, especially when compared to historical peaks of more than 3 million barrels per day.” North added that even if recent diplomatic negotiations lead to an easing of restrictions and allow additional Venezuelan oil to return to the...
