US stock futures held steady on Monday as investors assessed the implications of the US military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. President Trump said on Saturday that the US would “run” Venezuela until a proper political transition takes place, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck a more measured tone on Sunday, emphasizing that Washington has leverage to achieve its objectives while stopping short of suggesting direct US governance. Venezuela currently produces less than 1 million barrels of crude oil per day, accounting for under 1% of global output, limiting the impact on oil markets. Meanwhile, investors are looking ahead to a busy week of US economic data, highlighted by the December jobs report due Friday. Markets are also monitoring the CES technology show in Las Vegas, where major tech companies are set to unveil their latest products.
