How institutional teams put PEPIndex to work
PEPIndex turns U.S. trade-policy pressure into a daily, scored, API-ready signal. Different teams consume it differently — early warning for sourcing, a structured risk factor for macro models, and statutory-authority tracking for compliance. Pick the path closest to your work:
Sourcing & procurement teams
Early warning of tariff pressure before it hits sourcing costs, with sector-level impact ahead of supplier renegotiation.
Macro & quant analysts
A daily trade-policy risk factor: composite pressure score, TACO-trade return analysis, and SPY/VIX/sector-ETF correlations.
Legal & compliance teams
Statutory authority (IEEPA, Section 301/232), Federal Register EO linkage, eCFR outcomes, and court rulings per event.
Every use case draws on the same methodology, data
sources, and REST API. The free /api/v1/index endpoint needs no key —
start there, then layer in events, tariff rates, and economic-impact data.
