Daily Oil Prices and Geopolitical Risk Indicators Over 35 Years

9,000 daily observations track Brent, WTI, and Dubai crude oil prices alongside geopolitical events like Iran sanctions and Strait of Hormuz tensions. The dataset includes a Geopolitical Risk (GPR) index and covers a 35-year period. The original author and organization are unknown.

Use Cases

• Modeling Brent price volatility using the GPR index and event flags like 'Iran sanctions'.
• Analyzing price differentials between Brent, WTI, and Dubai crudes during periods of 'Strait of Hormuz' tensions.
• Building time-series classifiers to detect geopolitical shock periods from daily price and GPR index movements.
• Correlating specific geopolitical event tags with short-term price trends in WTI or Dubai benchmarks.

Strengths

• 9,000 daily observations provide high temporal granularity.
• Covers three major oil benchmarks (Brent, WTI, Dubai) for comparative analysis.
• 35-year time range allows study of long-term trends and multiple market cycles.
• Includes a quantified Geopolitical Risk (GPR) index alongside event tags.

Limitations

• The exact row count for each price series and the GPR index is unspecified.
• Sample data and column definitions are unavailable, complicating initial analysis.
• Geographic scope of the price data and risk events is not detailed.
