Global conflict tracking: Enhancing insights with alternative data
Alex Fidgeon-Keeler, ESG Research Analyst (London)

This report outlines datasets that can be used to track global conflicts and considers their impact on financial markets. For example, the worsening conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo will likely impact global manufacturing due to its importance in global cobalt and copper production. We look at vendors across different data types, including satellite, geopolitical risk, news/event, shipping and trade.
