Iran war news is everywhere. Traders are using AI tools to sort out investment strategies.

In the first few days of the outbreak of the war in Iran, Maxence Visseau, the founder of investment company Arkevium, has been trying to interpret what this conflict means for the market. He has placed artificial intelligence at the core of his investment process. Large language models have helped Visseau compress about 80% of the time spent on research. He uses Anthropic's Claude to simultaneously stress test multiple scenarios, compare historical precedents, and identify potential chain reactions in various asset classes. "I barely slept for 48 hours straight, monitoring missile interceptions in the UAE, simulating various scenarios, and preparing for the market opening," said Visseau, based in Dubai and focusing on macro trading strategies. "It is in moments like these that AI becomes indispensable." Visseau said that although AI cannot completely replace human judgment, he believes that the time-saving advantage of AI is becoming increasingly important for navigating volatile markets. "We are witnessing history - this is the first major conflict where AI is being used in combat, and traders are using AI to simulate war scenarios in unprecedented ways," said Nick Twidale, Chief Market Analyst at AT Global Markets with 25 years of market trading experience.
