How it is computed

EMpulse Street FX Index: daily street exchange rates of emerging-market currencies against the US dollar (USDT) — the rate people actually pay, not the official one — built from transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources, with a confidence class and the number of sources on every figure.

The index of a day is one number: when both components publish the same day, their mean weighted by confidence; outlier days are kept but excluded from averages and changes; the current day is revised until 00:00 UTC. Full rules, fields and revision policy: methodology (PDF) · accuracy.
