Theatre posture
Each active theatre carries a current posture and a 24-hour direction of travel, so you can see at a glance whether a situation is escalating, holding or easing. It is written for commercial decisions rather than military detail. It helps commodity, energy and freight desks judge whether exposure is building before it reaches the headlines.
Conflict Watch
Chokepoint status
A standing status for the chokepoints that move commodities and freight: the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, Suez, the Bosphorus and the CPC terminal. You see the current status of each and what is driving it. It supports routing, war-risk and fixture decisions where a single chokepoint can change the economics of a voyage.
Conflict Watch
Live event stream
A continuously updated stream of security and geopolitical events, each tagged with a verification level so you can separate confirmed reporting from unverified claims. You see what has actually changed, when, and how confident the assessment is. It lets a trading desk react to substance rather than noise.
Conflict Watch
Theatre situations and tempo
Longer-running situations are tracked as theatres, each with its activity tempo over the last 7 and 30 days. You see whether incident frequency is rising or falling over those windows, not just the latest event. It supports a view of direction over days and weeks for planning and hedging.
Conflict Watch
Brent and WTI context
Current Brent and WTI levels are shown alongside the security picture, so price context sits next to the events that can move it. You see the market reference without leaving the operating picture. It is context for your own analysis, not trading advice or a price forecast.
Conflict Watch
Watchlists
Build watchlists of the theatres, chokepoints and events that matter to your book, so the picture is filtered to your exposure. You see your selected items first and can track them over time. It keeps a desk focused on the routes, grades and regions it actually trades.
