We’re launching the Middle Eastern Markets content package: your direct channel to the region’s most authoritative and underutilised sources at precisely the moment they matter most.

The Middle East is once again at the centre of global headlines. Escalating regional tensions, shifting alliances, and policy recalibrations are creating profound uncertainty across commodity markets, capital flows, and geopolitical risk assessments. Yet, despite its critical importance, much of the region’s intelligence remains buried in fragmented government releases, niche specialist outlets, and local publications that rarely reach Western decision-makers in real time.

At Bigdata.com, we believe turbulent times demand clearer insights. Our mission is to add unique data packages that illuminate what others miss and deliver genuine value to investors and strategists navigating today’s volatility. That’s why we’re launching the Middle Eastern Markets content package – your direct channel to the region’s most authoritative and underutilised sources at precisely the moment they matter most.

This package draws from over 150 publications, including Al Jazeera, Emirates News Agency, Kuwait Times, Haaretz, and The Jerusalem Post, alongside a 7 million+ document archive dating back to 2008. It integrates diverse political, economic, and social perspectives – from liberal Israeli analyses to Gulf state policy releases – giving you more clarity on developments driving markets today.

Navigate geopolitical turmoil with confidence

For example, as a macro analyst assessing GCC market resilience amid escalating Saudi-Iran tensions or potential conflict spillovers affecting critical shipping lanes, you might prompt:

@middleeastmarkets Analyze recent political tensions in the Gulf, especially risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Explain how these might affect oil supply and price volatility in the next 3 months.
