02How Strong Is Today's Rate, Really
Placing today's rate inside the recent band shows whether the price is running hot, cool, or mid-pack.
Today's rate is about 4.0% above the period average and just 2.4% short of the period high. A price holding this high in the range usually points to firm structural demand rather than a one-off bid.
