Oil needs more than a Venezuelan default
Oil needs more than a Venezuelan default Judging by CDS spreads, the market fears Venezuela is approaching default (at a 25% recovery, the market is pricing in a 98% probability of default!).

Surprisingly, despite the fact that Venezuela has not let the IMF in to the country to perform its annual assessment (Article IV consultation) since 2004, the Venezuelan government has managed to access the bond markets, with approximately US$100bn of debts outstanding. Worryingly, about a fifth of the government debt (US$21bn) is due within the next three years.

Venezuela controls the largest proved reserves of oil in the world (around 18%), and produces around 3% of global supplies (similar scale to Mexico). Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the state oil company is fully controlled by the government. They have a symbiotic relationship: the government relies on PDVSA for more than half of formal budget revenues and PDVSA is reliant on the government for access to the oil reserves and its relationships with creditor countries such as China. PDVSA has also issued bonds of its own, with total outstanding debts of US$50bn adding to the contingent obligations of the government.
Even though PDVSA and the government are two separate issuers and so PDVSA’s assets cannot be considered collateral by sovereign bondholders, PDVSA will likely face funding difficulties. Any attempt by the government to access more of the PDVSA’s revenues, will leave less resources for PDVSA’s bondholders and market access is likely to close very quickly.
A disruption to Venezuelan supply could tighten global oil markets. However, current global oversupply is around 2.3 million barrels per day according to International Energy Agency data. It is unlikely that all 2.6 million barrels per day of Venezuelan supply will be wiped out overnight. When Mexico defaulted in 1982, its oil production fell by only 8% and that took four years. In the initial phases of a default the Venezuelan government would likely want to work its oil assets even harder to finance itself. Therefore, we believe that to bring the global oil market into balance broader production cuts will be required by both OPEC and non-OPEC members.

Americans can now allocate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies within their 401(k) retirement plans, unlocking access to a $9 trillion market. Even a modest 5% allocation of contributions could generate $30–40 billion in annual inflows, building to $343 billion by 2035. For perspective, that’s more than six times the $52 billion US spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted to date.

What is liquid staking, and why the SEC’s update matters for investors
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently ruled that certain liquid staking tokens are not securities. This is a major win for investors in the decentralized finance space, as historically, the SEC has often treated tokens as securities and claimed regulatory control over them.

Utdelningsavkastningen för IncomeShares ETP:er (börshandlade produkter) ändras varje månad, beroende på strategins resultat och marknadsförhållanden. Den här artikeln förklarar hur dessa avkastningar har förändrats hittills i år.
Vad är utdelningsavkastning?
IncomeShares ETP:er syftar till att tjäna månadsinkomster genom att sälja optioner på olika underliggande investeringar. När en ETP säljer en option betalar optionsköparen en ”premie” till ETP:n. Den premien är den inkomstkälla som ETP:n kan betala ut till investerare varje månad.
För att göra dessa utdelningar lättare att jämföra använder branschen ”årlig utdelningsavkastning”. Detta tar den senaste månatliga inkomstutbetalningen, multiplicerar den med 12 och dividerar den med ETP:ns nettotillgångsvärde (NAV) för den månaden.
Vi uttrycker resultatet som en procentandel med hjälp av formeln nedan:
Utdelningsavkastning (%) = (senaste månatliga utdelningsavkastning × 12) ÷ nuvarande NAV × 100
Eftersom formeln annualiserar endast en månads utbetalning kan utdelningsavkastningen variera kraftigt varje månad. Till exempel hade IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP en annualiserad utdelningsavkastning på 180,27 % i april 2025. Men i juli var den 39,86 %.
I det här exemplet berodde mycket av den avkastningsskillnaden på marknadsförhållandena. I april var SPY (ETP:ns underliggande investering) mer volatil än i juli. Högre volatilitet ökar vanligtvis efterfrågan på optioner, vilket höjer premierna – och därmed inkomstpotentialen för options-ETP:er.
Under de sju månaderna från januari till juli låg IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP i genomsnitt på 82,36 %.
Hur har IncomeShares utdelningsavkastning förändrats under 2025?
IncomeShares erbjuder för närvarande 19 ETP:er som syftar till att generera månatlig inkomst genom att sälja optioner på enskilda aktier, amerikanska aktiemarknadsindex, råvaror och amerikanska statsobligationer.
Av dessa 19 ETP:er har elva handlats under hela 2025. Tabellen nedan visar de årliga utdelningsavkastningarna som rapporterats varje månad i år (januari till juli) för dessa ursprungliga elva ETP:er:
De återstående åtta ETP:erna lanserades i slutet av juni – så de har bara en hel månad med utdelningar hittills (juli):
