Understanding World Tension Meter

WorldTensionMeter combines conflict monitoring, commodity markets, financial stress and global media coverage into one daily score — a macro-risk thermometer for the global economy. Full analysis runs twice daily, market data refreshes every ten minutes, and everything on this site is free with no account required.

Data collection

Every cycle pulls from public data sources across four worlds: global news monitoring (GDELT), event-level conflict records, commodity and financial market feeds, and major world news wires.

Scoring engine

Each signal is normalized to a 0–100 scale against its own multi-year history, so a reading of 70 means today genuinely ranks in the top third of the last five years — not that a keyword list fired.

Published record

Scores publish twice daily at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC. Every daily value is appended to a permanent ledger and never edited, building a historical archive you can audit on the History pages.
