GLOBAL SITREP INDEX
49
GUARDED ▼ -4 vs yesterday
Iran leads the board on sustained conflict activity (2,206 tracked conflict events; 31 articles across 11 sources). United Kingdom is the day's biggest mover, -15 in coverage. Markets look calmer, volatility down 3.52%.
The Global SITREP Index (0–100) blends a structural conflict base (UN/HDX HAPI) with a live news-velocity layer across 21 sources. Higher = greater global instability; a directional signal, not a forecast.
