Bloomberg Launches Company-Level Geopolitical Risk Scores Quantifying Country Risk, Built with Seerist Threat Intelligence
New York, NY – June, 2025 – Bloomberg today launched geopolitical country-of-risk scores for 7 million companies built with Seerist's leading geopolitical risk and security intelligence. Available on the Bloomberg Terminal and via Data License for enterprise-wide use, these scores enable risk managers, portfolio managers and traders to quickly identify 29 political, operational, security, cyber or maritime country-level threats impacting their portfolios.
Historically, geopolitical risk data was unavailable or outdated, requiring investors to manually analyze news and social media for threats in the countries of their portfolio companies, or make investment decisions with an incomplete picture of their exposure. Bloomberg's collaboration with Seerist makes it possible for investors and risk managers to better quantify emerging and quickly changing global threats with data trusted by over 50 government agencies and leading corporate securities teams at more than 500 companies who rely on these insights to guard employees' safety and set strategic growth plans in new regions.
How it works:
Seerist provides a daily Country Stability Score (PulseAI) and Risk Ratings across 29 categories monitoring changes within a country's political and security environment. This intelligence is built from Seerist's proprietary stability monitoring algorithms and risk ratings generated by over 200 political, security and cyber risk analysts from Seerist's Strategic Partner, Control Risks, measuring the business impact of key risks.
Bloomberg integrated Seerist's analytics with its best-in-class reference data and linked the resulting data set to every relevant company in Bloomberg's database—automatically mapping geopolitical risk factors to companies' countries of risk and cascading those scores down to their bonds and equities. Investors can now quickly assess both public and private companies based on their country of risk and take their analysis further by layering in supply chain and physical asset data, as well as sector data to determine which political risks are the most relevant.
'Geopolitical risks unfold like a complex game of chess – everything can change with a single move, requiring investors to rapidly reassess and adapt to what's happening on the board,' said Zane Van Dusen, Global Head of Risk & Investment Analytics Products at Bloomberg. 'From political and operational disruptions to security and cybersecurity threats, our collaboration with Seerist enables investors to quickly quantify the business impact of fast-moving risks and integrate that intelligence into their workflows.'
'Seerist brings clarity, speed and actionable threat intelligence to investment decisions through AI analytics and expert human insights,' said Tim Roots, Chief Product Officer at Seerist. 'Through our work with Bloomberg, we are applying a company-specific lens to our geopolitical data at a significant scale, equipping investors with geopolitical risk metrics and threat forecasts that intelligence professionals and government agencies trust and rely on to protect their people, operations and assets.'
Customers can access Bloomberg's geopolitical risk scores on the Bloomberg Terminal at {WSL COUNTRYRISK } or via Data License at data.bloomberg.com and have it delivered via SFTP, REST API or into a cloud environment.
Bloomberg's Risk & Investment Data Analytics Suite:
Geopolitical risk data is the newest addition to Bloomberg's Risk & Investment Data Analytics Suite underscoring Bloomberg's ongoing commitment to provide customers with rich analytics and insights to manage complex emerging risks. Bloomberg's Risk & Investment Data Analytics Suite is comprised of Liquidity Assessment (LQA) for liquidity risk, Market-Implied Probability of Default (MIPD) for credit risk, Digital Asset Exposure Analytics for cryptocurrency exposure and Fund Analytics for granular fund-level risk metrics.

Modi urges ‘buy local' as India defies US over Russian oil
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged his citizens to buy locally-made goods in the face of threats from US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs, as New Delhi affirmed it would continue to purchase Russian oil. 'The global economy is going through many concerns, there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one measure: we will buy things that are made with the sweat of an Indian,' he added, stressing the importance of protecting India's economic interests amid unstable global conditions. The remarks came just days after the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on some Indian exports to the United States. The White House has also threatened further action if India continues to buy Russian oil. Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that Modi's government has not instructed Indian oil refineries to stop purchasing Russian oil, and no decision has been made to halt the purchases. Both state-run and private refineries are permitted to buy from preferred sources, with the decision to purchase crude oil remaining a commercial one. India a key Trump target India has become one of Trump's main targets in his effort to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Last week, the US president criticised India for joining the BRICS group of developing nations and maintaining close ties with Russia, saying: 'Together they can bring down their floundering economies.' The rebuke marked a significant shift in the US tone. For years, Washington had largely overlooked India's historically close ties with Russia as it sought to court New Delhi as a counterweight to China in Asia. Trump now appears ready to reverse that strategy to gain leverage against Putin. A senior adviser to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, accused India of effectively financing the Russian war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow. Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff, also accused India of imposing 'huge' tariffs on American goods and 'cheating' the US immigration system, in addition to buying nearly as much Russian oil as China. 'President Trump wants a strong relationship, and he has always had a strong relationship with India and its prime minister. But we need to be realistic about dealing with the financing of this war,' Miller said in press remarks on Sunday. 'So, for President Trump, all options are on the table to deal diplomatically, financially and politically with the ongoing war in Ukraine, so that we can achieve peace,' Miller added. Trump told reporters last week he had 'heard' that India would stop buying oil from Russia, calling it 'a good step'. Bloomberg reported last week that Indian refineries had been asked to devise plans to procure non-Russian crude, thoughone source said the instruction was for 'scenario planning in case the crude is unavailable'. The New York Times also reported on Saturday that India would continue to buy Russian crude despite Trump's threat of sanctions. US and European criticism Indian refineries have faced criticism from the European Union and the United States for supporting Moscow through oil purchases during the Ukraine war. India has become the world's largest buyer of Russia's seaborne crude oil exports, taking advantage of discounted barrels and increasing its purchases from almost zero to about a third of its imports. While China is Russia's main economic and diplomatic backer, Trump's leverage over the world's second-largest economy is limited by Beijing's control over rare earth metals needed by the US for high-tech goods. The US and China have held talks in recent months aimed at stabilising the relationship after both raised tariffs on each other's goods to over 100% earlier this year. India has defended its relationship with Russia, one of its largest arms suppliers since the Cold War. Foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Friday that the two countries have an 'established and stable partnership'. 'Our bilateral relations with various countries are stand-alone and should not be viewed from the perspective of a third country,' Jaiswal said. When asked about relations with the US, he added that he was 'confident that this relationship will continue to evolve'. An official in New Delhi said India expects US trade negotiators to visit the country before the end of this month to continue talks on a bilateral agreement. The official stressed that India would hold its position and not grant the US access to its dairy and agriculture sectors, citing political and religious sensitivities.

Global Gold Demand Rises in Q2 Despite Decline in Central Bank Purchases
Waleed Farouk A report released Thursday by the World Gold Council revealed an increase in global demand for gold during the second quarter of 2025, driven by a surge in investment demand despite a slowdown in central bank purchases. According to the report, total global demand for gold — including over-the-counter (OTC) trading — rose by 3% year-on-year to reach 1,248.8 tonnes in Q2, supported by a 78% increase in investment demand. However, central bank purchases saw a notable decline, with acquisitions totaling 166.5 tonnes during the second quarter — roughly one-third less than in the first quarter. This pullback led to the lowest first-half purchase levels by central banks since 2022. In terms of consumption, global demand for gold jewelry dropped by 14% to 341.0 tonnes, marking its lowest level since the third quarter of 2020. Commenting on the findings, John Reade, Chief Market Strategist at the World Gold Council, explained that when gold prices rise significantly, the incentive for central banks to increase their holdings weakens. He noted that the rapid price gains have prompted concerns about potential price corrections, which in turn dampened demand, according to remarks reported by Bloomberg. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

25 Injured After US Delta Flight Hit by Turbulence
Israa Farhan At least 25 people were injured and transported to a hospital after a Delta Airlines flight encountered severe turbulence, forcing an emergency landing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to Bloomberg, the Airbus A330neo had been airborne for less than an hour into its scheduled nine-hour journey from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Amsterdam when the pilots were forced to divert due to dangerous flying conditions. The airline confirmed the incident in an official statement. Delta stated that Flight DL 268 landed safely at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport following the unexpected turbulence. Emergency medical teams responded immediately to assist the injured passengers and crew. The aircraft was carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members at the time of the incident. Local hospitals received the injured individuals for further evaluation and treatment. The airline has not yet released full details on the nature of the turbulence or the severity of injuries. However, such incidents have raised growing concerns about in-flight safety, especially amid increasing reports of weather-related disruptions linked to climate change. The incident highlights the importance of always wearing seatbelts during flights, even when the seatbelt sign is off, as sudden turbulence can occur without warning. Delta Airlines is cooperating with aviation authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding the emergency landing. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
