Asian markets rose after U.S. forces captured Venezuela’s president, despite global tensions.

As investors minimized the U.S. military action that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Asian stock markets increased on Monday. The MSCI's Asia-Pacific index outside of Japan increased by 0.3%. South Korea's Kospi reached a record high, while Japan's Nikkei 225 increased 2.5%. Despite OPEC+ output stability, oil prices slightly increased to $57.36. However, analysts cautioned that Venezuela's oil recovery faces significant infrastructure challenges. While gold and Bitcoin increased, the US dollar and Treasury yields slightly increased. With geopolitical tensions predicted to persist, markets await important economic data.
