The last several years have seen a growth in social media “nowcasting” applications—the use of social media data to predict real-world phenomena such as flu activity [5], unemployment behavior [1], and more.

Energy commodities have shown explosive growth in the last decade. They have become a new asset class used also for investment purpose...

We argue that these predictions are consistent with historical eviden...
