India
The world's most populous country — a nuclear power and fast-growing major economy.
Coverage of India is holding steady : 57 signals on the latest tracked day, up 128% from its three-week baseline of 25, across 17 domains (down from 21 a week ago). That makes it the #14 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
India is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 25 signals a day across 17 domains (12 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 32+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 17. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
