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.
Urals crude (with discount) currently reads 78.13 $/bbl, mapping to a stress of 0/100 — well inside the calm zone.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — medium. How it is derived: CREA/Argus (auto): Urals = Brent − discount.
