Event-Based Forecasting

Event-based forecasting is an advanced approach to predictive analytics that incorporates real-world events — such as geopolitical developments, policy changes, weather patterns, or supply disruptions — directly into forecasting models.

Instead of relying solely on historical data, this method interprets how specific events influence market dynamics and future outcomes.

How It Works

By combining natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, event-based models continuously analyze millions of data points — from news streams and reports to social and macroeconomic indicators. Each detected event is quantified for its impact, relevance, and recurrence, allowing the model to adjust forecasts dynamically as new information emerges.

Why It Matters

Markets today react to information faster than ever. Incorporating event data enables organizations to:

Detect early signals of price movements or disruptions
Improve forecast accuracy in volatile conditions
Understand why a forecast changes — not just what will happen
Strengthen strategic and operational decision-making

AI in Commodity Markets

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way commodity markets operate. From crude oil and gas to metals and agricultural products, AI enables traders, analysts, and procurement teams to detect patterns, predict price movements, and respond faster to global events.

Ensemble Modeling

Ensemble modeling is a machine learning technique that combines multiple models to improve predictive performance, stability, and robustness. Instead of relying on a single algorithm, ensemble methods merge the insights of several models — each with its own strengths — to generate more accurate and reliable forecasts.
