Global seismicity data from USGS records indicate an average of roughly 15–20 magnitude 6.5+ earthquakes worldwide each year, or about 0.3–0.4 events per week, which underpins the market’s emphasis on zero or one occurrence during June 15–21. Recent activity included a magnitude 6.5 event near the Philippines on June 8 and elevated counts of magnitude 5+ quakes around June 10, yet these remain consistent with normal variability along Pacific Ring of Fire plate boundaries rather than signaling a sustained cluster. Short-term forecasts carry high uncertainty because large events follow a Poisson-like distribution with occasional aftershock sequences, but no active swarm or foreshock patterns currently point to elevated odds of multiple magnitude 6.5+ quakes in the coming days.
