Energy traders and portfolio managers struggle to predict oil price volatility driven by geopolitical conflicts

Energy traders, hedge funds, and corporate treasury teams lose millions when geopolitical events (US-Iran tensions, regional conflicts) cause sudden oil price spikes that their current forecasting models fail to anticipate. Existing market analysis tools rely on historical data and public news, missing the speed and magnitude of geopolitical-driven price movements, forcing traders to either over-hedge (expensive) or under-hedge (risky).
