Venezuela's stock market, the IBC Index, experienced a dramatic surge of approximately 50% in a single trading session following the US-led capture of President Nicolas Maduro. This rally, extending a significant upward trend, has seen the index gain substantially over recent weeks and months. Investors are interpreting the political upheaval as a potential turning point, anticipating possible sanctions relief, increased foreign investment, and a more pro-business environment, despite the country's ongoing economic challenges and high inflation.
