USGS seismic monitoring has confirmed exactly seven earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 or greater worldwide during the May 25–31 window, anchoring the market’s near-certain consensus on that outcome. Activity remained at moderate levels consistent with background tectonic strain release along major plate boundaries, highlighted by a 6.9 event near Calama, Chile, on May 25 and isolated 5.5–6.0 shocks in Indonesia and the Indian-Antarctic Ridge, without aftershock sequences or regional clusters that would elevate the count. Historical catalogs show weekly global tallies for this magnitude threshold typically range from roughly five to fifteen events, so the observed total aligns with expected variability in Poisson-distributed seismicity. Final catalog verification is nearly complete, though minor magnitude revisions on borderline events remain the only realistic pathway to a different tally.
