W.E.T. World Risk Index (WWRI) prints a WET Index Score of 23.6 (Low), with no daily change published.
Constituents rebalanced; the basket changed too much to chain, so the series is rebased at 23.6 and price moves resume tomorrow. Not a market move.
The board: 100 of 134 benchmarks live — 31 elevated (≥60), 38 calm (<40).
WET Implied · real-unit readings
