Over the last decade, spikes in "war" and "violence" references in media have consistently preceded oil price rallies: from Russia invading Ukraine, to Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, to the Iran conflict today. Conversely, declines in media focus on war have preceded energy price declines. At MarketPsych, we quantify these text signals across 1,000+ news and social media sources in real time. A simple moving average crossover strategy on war mentions applied to DBO (an oil ETF) shows significant outperformance vs buy-and-hold. Geopolitical risks portrayed in the media: war, supply constraints, political instability, etc., can create actionable signals for quants. Methodology explained in our whitepaper: "Leveraging Reuters News for Predicting Commodity Prices" (Teodoro & Peterson, 2025).
