Oil futures settled higher on Monday after President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that countries that purchase oil from Venezuela will face a 25% tariff on all of their imports to the U.S. starting April 2. He also imposed new tariffs on Venezuela, according to the Associated Press.
The decision to impose tariffs on buyers of crude from Venezuela is "based on the alleged arrival of tens of thousands of Venezuelan migrants with violent backgrounds, which has been presented as a threat to U.S. national security," said Antonio Di Giacomo, a financial markets analyst at XS.
He said the impact on the energy market was immediate. Prices climbed Monday, with the May contract for West Texas Intermediate crude up 83 cents, or 1.2%, to settle at $69.11 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. May Brent crude settled at $73 on ICE Futures Europe, up 84 cents, or 1.2%.
Stocks jumped Monday on optimism that President Donald Trump may hold back from implementing some of his wide-ranging tariff plans and so the U.S. could skirt an economic slowdown from a protracted trade war.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 597.97 points, or 1.42%, to end at 42,583.32. The S&P 500 added 1.76% and closed at 5,767.57, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 2.27% to settle at 18,188.59.
Shares of Tesla which have fallen nine straight weeks, were up nearly 12%, adding to their Friday gains. Meta Platforms and Nvidia each climbed more than 3%.
