Economy Pulse EU gives you a clear and simple overview of the state of the euro area economy.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Dashboard Your economic command centre. Six key indicators at a glance — HICP inflation, unemployment, the ECB main rate, GDP growth, M3 money supply, and economic sentiment — plus an economic health summary, a cycle phase indicator showing where the economy sits across expansion, peak, contraction, and trough, and a recession probability gauge built from live data signals.

Economic Sentiment The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) displayed as a visual gauge centred on 100 — the euro area's long-term average. See at a glance whether businesses and consumers are optimistic or pessimistic, with a historical trend chart spanning three months to two years to track how sentiment has shifted.

Market Activity Three signals that reveal the mood beneath the surface: the Euro Stoxx 50 equity benchmark, the CISS financial stress index (the ECB's official gauge of systemic strain across equity, bond, money, and FX markets), and M3 money supply — a measure of broad monetary liquidity across the euro area.

Bond Yields Up to date 2-year and 10-year AAA-rated euro area government bond yields with day-over-day changes, a yield curve analysis card that flags normal vs. inverted conditions, and a historical comparison chart across 6-month, 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year timeframes.

Economic Calendar Upcoming HICP, employment, GDP, and PPI releases plus ECB Governing Council meeting dates, with a countdown to the next event. Set reminders for individual releases or all future occurrences of the same report type.

Alerts Quick-setup templates for the most common triggers — yield curve inversion, high inflation, rising unemployment, ECB rate changes, sentiment shifts, and M3 money supply contractions or surges — or build a fully custom alert on any indicator.

Learn Simple explanations covering HICP inflation, employment, ECB policy, the yield curve, GDP, economic sentiment, economic cycles, recession indicators, and M3 money supply — written to explain not just what each number means, but why it moves markets and how to read it alongside everything else in the app.
