Methodology

EM FX Events

  • Source: EMpulse's reading of public posts (Telegram channel previews, forums, RSS of publishers, official channels) classified as event, i.e. news that changes conditions on the street FX market. Each item keeps a quotation of at most 300 characters (summary: the post title, or the most telling fragment, original language) and the link to the original (source_url). Full texts are never redistributed.
  • kind is assigned by deterministic keyword rules, in this order: p2p_ban (bans or blocks of P2P / crypto / USDT services), cash_limits (cash, ATM and withdrawal limits or shortages), fx_restriction (capital and currency controls, import restrictions, dollar shortage), devaluation (devaluation, record lows, floats), outage (service disruptions), otherwise other.
  • confidence = the relevance score of the item / 100 (0–1). Items with a score below 20 are not included.
  • ts is the time of the original post when the source gives one, otherwise the time the item was detected.
  • The feed is a reading of public information, not an official statement by any authority, and not advice.
