- The why, not just the price: each move is explained, and every claim names its source (EIA, USDA, CFTC, and news outlets).
- The data behind it (Pro): inventories, spreads, tanker traffic, positioning, and weather in the Data Room, plus a Sunday Weekly Note.
- No trade calls. GEO tells you what happened; what you do with it is up to you.
