Uni-Fuels Holdings shares rise 10.29% after-hours as Maduro's arrest sparks optimism over Venezuela's oil market reopening.

Uni-Fuels Holdings surged 10.29% in after-hours trading amid renewed optimism over Venezuela’s potential oil market liberalization following the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. The energy sector has seen strong gains this week, with UFG benefiting from speculation about reopened trade opportunities in Venezuela and U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed subsidies for oil firms investing there. The stock’s rally aligns with broader sector trends, as peers like Schlumberger and Halliburton also rose on similar geopolitical and policy-driven tailwinds. The arrest of Maduro, coupled with his ongoing legal challenges, has intensified investor expectations of Venezuela’s oil sector becoming accessible to international energy companies, reinforcing the bullish momentum for UFG.
