 <p>In a sudden turn of events, the US eased sanctions on Venezuela and relaxed oil trade, allowing them to produce and export oil to their previous customers. The US relaxed oil sanctions allowing Venezuela to settle payments in the US dollar without restrictions for six months.</p>
 <p>The majority of oil from Venezuela will move to China and Spain and can settle trade using the US dollar. BRICS member India is also a large market for Venezuela and both the countries will exchange the US dollar for payments.</p>

 <p>India remains uncomfortable using the Chinese Yuan for oil trade and could welcome Venezuela’s oil by paying the USD. Bloomberg reported that India is unhappy to ditch the US dollar for oil as the Chinese Yuan benefits from the ordeal. Now that the US eased sanctions on Venezuela, payments in the dollar could slightly rise in the next six months.</p>
