Sources, observation dates and missing coverage

These charts show historical source snapshots, not streaming quotes or forecasts. Each value retains its original observation date, unit and source. Change is measured against the previous available observation in the same series; colours indicate direction, not a trading recommendation. Missing observations are not filled. Baltic and recycling prices remain unconnected; BDA remains unconfigured pending its definition.
