AI platform xMap's data scientist, Dana Harrison, questioned if mobility data could preempt commodity supply risks. She analyzed human movement data along Pakistan's Chagai copper-gold corridor, near Iran and Afghanistan. This region hosts significant mining developments like Saindak and Reko Diq. Harrison observed a notable decline in human mobility in Nushki and Dalbandin. These areas diverged from other locations in Balochistan, falling below the regional benchmark index. While not claiming mobility directly predicts disruptions, she proposes it could serve as an early indicator of supply chain stress. The data tracks general human movement, not specific commodity shipments. Declining movement might suggest logistical issues like road restrictions, security operations, or population displacement. The Chagai corridor is strategically located along the N-40 Highway. This decline in mobility is particularly interesting given recent US economic statements against Iran, a neighbor of the region. Ultimately, this type of data could offer insights into potential future supply disruptions from this critical-mineral corridor.
