World events map: unrest, disasters and shipping
World events puts what is happening around the world on a globe, for the events that move oil, shipping and markets.
What it shows
- Unrest headlines, placed on the country they name.
- Earthquakes, wildfires, storms, floods and volcanoes.
- Traffic through the main shipping chokepoints.
- A list beside the globe, newest first, each event linked to its source.
How to read it
Most events never touch a price. The ones to watch sit near oil fields, ports and the narrow sea lanes most trade passes through; a closed chokepoint shows up in oil and shipping first.
