TerraManta identifies and quantifies geo political drivers which impact
commodity prices. By analyzing fundamental factors (supply / demand /
inventory / distribution) and geo political drivers, TerraManta offers a quantum
leap in
commodities price intelligence and analytics for commodity traders,
industry analysts, and procurement specialists.
TerraManta for Crude Oil
TerraManta analyzes news and data using machine learning technology to identify individual components which influence the price of commodities (beginning with crude oil): changes in global demand and supply forecasts (including country specific updates), conflicts, production rates (including seasonal adjustments), exploration activities, distribution, inventories, statements by oil industry executives and government officials, and financial market updates (including currency fluctuations). The software ingests publicly available news reports about geo politics, energy, commodities, financial, and other topics and combines the analysis of topics reported in the news with crude oil market fundamentals.

Easily navigate through the price history and examine news, which contributed to the price changes: statements by government officials and analysts, events (reported in the news) in different regions of the globe in multiple categories. Take a deeper look at news and events in a specific region where an important event has occurred.
Statements Explorer
Statements and comments made by energy ministers, government officials, or analysts can impact oil prices immediately. View comments by government officials, industry analysts, anyone reported by news media who expressed a view about commodities with or without a price forecast. Easily search for past comments to assess credibility.
Indicator Explorer
Select one or more countries and economic or crude oil-specific indicators – for selected country. Observe whether an indicator’s behavior over time had an impact on the price of crude oil.
Rallies Explorer
Analyze past crude oil price movements (rallies) and looks for similar factors: price curve characteristics, fundamentals, geo political events. Price movements are analyzed across multiple durations: 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, 3months, and 6 months. If there is price movement in the past with similar factors, the software will use the price curve immediately following the price movement as a future price curve.
