Iran Conflict 2026Background
Investing.com is cited as the source for the Brent Crude price figure in Lowdown's U#105 briefing on 22 May 2026, where sovereign-pen risk from Mojtaba Khamenei's uranium-stay directive repriced the oil benchmark. The platform provides real-time and delayed pricing data for stocks, commodities, currencies, and indices, making it a widely-used secondary source when primary exchange data (such as ICE Brent settlement prices) sits behind institutional paywalls. It has since also been cited as the pricing source for European gas: the 15 July 2026 TTF front-month close of EUR 54.995/MWh, a second consecutive rally session after the US reimposed a blockade on Iranian ports and a cargo toll through the Strait of Hormuz.
Founded in 2007 by Israeli entrepreneurs Oded Hermoni and Eldar Boguslavsky, Investing.com is owned by Investing.com Group and operates from Israel with offices in multiple countries. It aggregates market data from exchanges and data providers and distributes it via web and mobile platforms. The site has grown into one of the largest financial data portals by traffic, competing with Yahoo Finance and MarketWatch for retail and professional financial news readership.
For Lowdown, Investing.com functions as a credible secondary source for commodity pricing when primary settlement data is inaccessible. Its Brent Crude quotes draw from ICE Futures Europe data feeds and are generally consistent with official settlement prices within the same trading session. It performs the same role for European gas benchmarks such as TTF, sourced from ICE Endex feeds. Lowdown cites it for spot-price figures rather than for analysis or market commentary.
