Zero Critical Events as Risk Index Falls to 30.7: Post-Spike Cooling After Week of Elevated Disruption — April 2 Briefing

The Disruptis risk index dropped to 30.7 on April 2 with zero events logged — a striking cooldown from the 79.3 extreme reading just six days ago. The 7-day average remains elevated at 44.2, and the absence of fresh triggers does not erase residual risk still propagating through trade corridors.

Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal: Why Two Chokepoints Dominate Global Trade Disruption Data

The Strait of Hormuz and Suez Canal account for a disproportionate share of global trade disruption events. This post examines why these two corridors concentrate risk across energy, commodities, and containerised freight — and how structured disruption data captures that exposure.

Hormuz and Suez handle ~40% of seaborne crude and 12–15% of global trade

Bidirectional Severity Scoring for Trade Events: How a -4 to +4 Scale Captures Disruptions and Restorations

Most risk scoring systems only measure how bad things get. A bidirectional -4 to +4 severity scale captures both supply chain disruptions and restorations, giving trading desks and risk teams a net-state view of trade corridor health over time.
