Gold, Silver and European Defense Stocks Up on Venezuela Risk | The Opening Trade 1/5/2026

European defense stocks rise following the US military strikes on Venezuela and its capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Gold and silver also advance, with investors weighing heightened geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, oil markets shrug off the possibility of short-term disruptions, believing any drop in Venezuelan output could be offset by increases elsewhere.

The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
