Built on the same data as the Street FX Index: one API key, JSON or CSV, open methodology.
- EM FX Events: currency-infrastructure feed
- A dated feed of events that move street FX in emerging markets: devaluations, cash and withdrawal limits, P2P and crypto bans, FX restrictions, payment outages. Each item is a short quotation with a link to the public source.
- EM FX News & Sentiment: what the news says about a currency
- What the news says about a currency's country, day by day: a tone score from −1 to 1 with a label, the number of articles, 7- and 30-day trends, an index against the country's own 90-day norm, a map of countries ranked by the sharpest fall in tone, and how the tone has related to the next moves of the street rate — with an early signal when the tone drops while the rate is still calm.
- FX Stress Signals: early warning from the street
- A daily none / watch / alert flag per currency when the street market shows stress: the rate weakening day after day, a 7-day move in the top decile of its own year, or the buy–sell spread blowing out.
- EM Parallel FX Market Size: how big the parallel dollar market of a country is
- How big the parallel dollar market of an emerging-market country is: an EMpulse estimate per country and month, as an interval (low / mid / high, USD a year) with a daily figure, a band (order of magnitude), a rank among the estimated countries and a confidence class — built from open aggregates and the index's own readings, never from a single figure.
- Official vs Street: the parallel-market premium
- How far the street rate is from the official central-bank rate, per currency and day: the premium people actually pay for dollars, with 7-day average and 30-day maximum.
- Rail Health Index: which payment methods work today
- Which payment methods in a country work today and how reliably: cards, bank transfers, instant transfers, e-wallets, mobile money, cash, crypto and direct local rails, each with a status (healthy / degraded / outage), a health index against its own norm, availability through the day and a supply class — for pay-ins and payouts.
- FX Rate Stack: official, interbank, bank, customs, card and street rates side by side
- Every rate a dollar has in a country, on one day and in one answer: the official rate, the interbank rate, what banks quote, the customs rate duties are computed at, what international cards settle at and the street rate — each with its publication day, the number of sources and a confidence class, the gap between every rung and the street, the width of the ladder, its 7- and 30-day trend and a signal when the ladder widens.
- Street Rate Index — multi-source
- Street rates aggregated from many independent market sources with a confidence score: the dollar rate for naira, shilling, cedi, rial, bolívar and more, measured from what exchangers and local publishers post in the open and weighted by how reliable each source has proven to be.
- Unmet Demand Map: where payments are not being served
- Where payment demand in emerging markets is not being served: the share of attempts that found no supply or a rail not connected, per country, direction and method class, with the hours of day it happens, the trend and a ranking of markets.
- USDT Liquidity & Premium: where the dollar moves through stablecoins
- Where and when the dollar actually moves through USDT in emerging markets, and at what price: a liquidity index per currency and day (and hour), the pay-in / payout balance, the spread, the active hours of day, the premium over the official rate and a supply class.
