Gas jumps above $3.67, oil passes $126 on Venezuela concerns/ El gas salta sobre $3.67, y el petróleo llega a $126 por preocupaciones sobre Venezuela

On Friday, The Wall Street Journal published a report that suggested closer ties between Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and rebels attempting to overthrow Colombia's government. Chavez has been linked to Colombian rebels previously, but the paper reported it had reviewed computer files indicating concrete offers by Venezuela's leader to arm guerillas. That appears to heighten the chances that the U.S. could impose sanctions on one of its biggest oil suppliers."If we put on sanctions, I'm sure Chavez would threaten to cut off our oil supply," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. "Obviously that would have a major impact on oil prices."( full information)/ Este viernes, Wall Street Journal publicó un informe que siguiere lazos cercanos entre presidente venezolano Hugo Chavez y rebeldes que procuraban derrocar el gobierno de Colombia. Chavez se ha aparecido ligado a los rebeldes colombianos previamente, pero el periodico reportó haber revisado documentos electrónicos que indicaban ofertas concretas del líder de Venezuela a los guerrillas armadas. Eso aparece aumentar las posibilidades de que los ESTADOS UNIDOS impongan sanciones ante uno de sus proveedores más grandes de petróleo. "Si le ponemos sanciones, estoy seguro que Chavez amenazaría con cortar nuestra fuente petrolera," dijo Phil Flynn, analista en Alaron Trading Corp. "lo que obviamente que tendría un impacto importante en precios del petróleo."
