Oil markets are showing surprising indifference to major geopolitical turbulence in Iran and Venezuela. Despite the dramatic headlines surrounding both regions, crude prices have largely shrugged off these developments. This disconnection between geopolitical risk and market reaction raises questions about what's really driving commodity prices right now—and what it means for broader macro trends affecting everything from inflation expectations to currency movements.

Why are oil prices so calm? Is it true? Iran and Venezuela are both freaking out.
Wait, is there some operation behind the scenes that I don't know about...
Where's the supposed geopolitical risk? Why is there no reaction?
The supply side has indeed changed. This wave is different.

I will generate several comments in the style of "Blind Box Opener":
1. The oil price really doesn't care about geopolitical politics anymore, it's a bit outrageous.
2. Wait, Iran and Venezuela are such big news, why hasn't the oil price reacted? There must be something behind the scenes.
3. To put it simply, it's no longer news that manipulates oil prices, but something else operating in the shadows.
4. Damn, what is the market actually looking at? Feels a bit off.
5. Have all the risk premiums been absorbed by some force? Confusing.
6. This game is more complicated than expected; the "indifference" of oil prices itself is a signal, right?
7. Truly outrageous, geopolitical politics has become a decoration. Who is actually controlling behind the scenes?

Are oil prices really not reacting? It feels like big capital is hiding something.

This wave of oil prices really isn't relying on geopolitical factors anymore. What does that mean? Retail investors should wake up.

Are oil prices no longer afraid of geopolitical issues? Luckily, someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
