Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
LME/logistics limits (Al, Ni) currently reads 50 index 0–100, mapping to a stress of 50/100 — moderate pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via independent monitoring; confidence — medium. How it is derived: LME ban on Russian metal and logistics premiums from exchange notices.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
No long public data series exists for this indicator — it is an estimated 0–100 index from expert / OSINT sources, not a published statistic. We track the current reading (and the short live trend above, where it exists).
