Why Geopolitical Analysis Matters
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, oil prices spiked 40% within weeks. Brexit negotiations caused the pound to swing 20% in single trading sessions. These weren't random market moves – they were predictable responses to political developments.
Traditional technical analysis often fails during geopolitical events because markets react to human emotions and political calculations, not just economic fundamentals. Our approach combines political science with financial analysis.
- Early warning systems for political risk events
- Currency impact assessment during diplomatic crises
- Commodity market reactions to trade disputes
- Safe haven asset behavior during conflicts
- Election cycle trading strategies
Sanctions Impact
Learn to anticipate how economic sanctions affect specific sectors and currencies. We analyze historical patterns from Iran, Russia, and North Korea cases to build predictive models.
Election Cycles
Political campaigns create predictable market patterns. Understand how different election outcomes affect trade policies, regulations, and investor sentiment across global markets.
Trade Wars
The US-China trade conflict taught us valuable lessons about tariff impacts on supply chains, currency manipulation concerns, and sector rotation strategies during trade disputes.
