For the press

The EMpulse Street FX Index is a daily index of street exchange rates of emerging-market currencies against the US dollar — the rate people actually pay where the official rate is managed, lagging or unavailable. Data and a comment are available to journalists on request.

How to cite

Name the source as EMpulse Street FX Index and link the currency page:

"EMpulse Street FX Index, https://empulse.ai/rates/<CUR>, data as of <date>"

Every figure on the site and in the API carries the day it refers to, a confidence class (high / medium / limited) and the number of independent market sources behind it. Rates are local currency per 1 US dollar (USDT counted as one dollar); a rising number means the currency weakened. Public pages carry a one-day delay. Street rates are not official or interbank rates and are not investment advice.

EM Street FX Weekly

Every Monday: the top moves of the week, the premium over the official rate, stress signals, the events that moved street FX, and one quotable sentence per currency with a link to its chart.

All issues. To receive the review by email, write to hello@empulse.ai from an editorial address.
