How to Use ChatGPT for
Market Research (Without Doomscrolling for Hours)

Turn breaking news into smart trades —
with just one prompt.

ChatGPT just changed the game for market research.
​
And by “research,” I don’t mean hours of reading papers or squinting at news sites…
​
I mean a one-line prompt that gives you a clear edge when the market throws something unexpected at you.
​
Let me show you what I’m talking about…

WHEN IRAN HIT THE HEADLINE

When the U.S. struck Iran recently, traders scrambled to figure out the impact.

Would the oil spike hold?
Would equities crash?
What about gold and the dollar?

Most traders were guessing.

Unless you’re an expert in Middle East geopolitics… it’s all noise.

But here’s what I typed into ChatGPT:

How did oil, gold, equities, and USD respond during past Iran-related conflicts?”

And in seconds:

  • Strait of Hormuz attacks (2019): Oil +10%, faded quickly
  • Soleimani strike (2020): Crude spiked, gold ran, ES dipped, all reversed in days
  • Breakdown of timelines, price reactions, duration of moves

Then I asked:

“What did Iran do militarily after the U.S. killed Qasem Soleimani in 2020? Include missile strikes, cyberattacks, and how oil & equities responded.”

Now I’m a geopolitical analyst with data-backed context (minus the 10 hours of doomscrolling.) 😁

What did I learn?

  • Iran saved face without triggering a war
  • Closing the Strait was always unlikely
  • Oil spiked, equities wobbled… then both cooled off fast

From this, I could:

👉 Understand likely market reactions to current events
👉 Avoid impulsive trades on opinions
👉 Layer that into my trade ideas

And this is just one use case…

I think we forget… You can ask anything:

  • “Which sectors rally after CPI beats vs. misses?”
  • “How often does Tesla reverse after a big earnings-day gap?”
  • “Which stocks have the biggest intraday moves after missing earnings?”
  • “What’s the average Nasdaq return after a -2% day?”

Basically:
You now have a research team on tap… for free.
You just need to ask the right questions.
Thanks, Mr Altman…
