Questions

Does WorldPulse say an event caused a price move?

No. We show prices and nearby events side by side, and we name the geography each instrument is exposed to. We never claim one caused the other — that link cannot be proven from this data, and asserting it would be investment advice.

Which events are matched to an instrument?

Events recorded within 450 km of the geographic points that instrument is exposed to — for crude oil that means the Strait of Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez and Malacca, plus active conflicts in the region. Only events of severity 2 and above are matched.

How fresh are the prices?

Crypto and foreign exchange update continuously at the source. Index and commodity ETF quotes are end-of-day or delayed intraday depending on the market session. The timestamp at the top of the page shows when this snapshot was taken.

Is this investment advice?

No. Everything here is for information only. WorldPulse is not a financial adviser and nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
