Macro Dashboard

Skill: macro-dashboard

Purpose

Build a comprehensive macro-economic dashboard using EODHD data — combining macro indicators across countries, Treasury yield curves, and economic events calendar for a complete economic picture.

Trigger

Activate when the user asks for:

• Macro-economic overview or dashboard
• GDP, inflation, unemployment data
• Interest rate trends or yield curve analysis
• Economic calendar or upcoming events
• Country economic comparison
• "How's the economy?"
• Trade balance or current account data
• Central bank policy context

Workflow

1. Determine scope — country/countries and indicators of interest
2. Fetch macro indicators — macro-indicator for GDP, CPI, unemployment, etc.
3. Fetch Treasury rates — ust/yield-rates, ust/bill-rates, ust/long-term-rates, ust/real-yield-rates
4. Fetch economic events — economic-events for upcoming releases. Always pass an explicit --from-date/--to-date window (e.g. today → +14d) and --country — without them the API returns arbitrary far-future events with empty fields. Field mapping: event name = type (NOT event), forecast = estimate (NOT forecast), plus previous/actual (actual is null until released).
5. Calculate trends — YoY changes, trends, inflection points
6. Compile dashboard

Available Macro Indicators

Key indicators available via macro-indicator endpoint (codes below are verified valid — passing an unknown code returns Indicator or Country are Not Found or silently falls back to GDP):

• gdp_current_usd — GDP in current USD
• gdp_growth_annual — Annual GDP growth %
• inflation_consumer_prices_annual — CPI annual %
• unemployment_total_percent — Unemployment rate %
• real_interest_rate — Real interest rate % (EODHD has no nominal policy-rate indicator)
• net_trades_goods_services — Trade balance / net exports (absolute USD, not % of GDP)
• merchandise_trade_percent_gdp — Merchandise trade as % of GDP (trade volume, not balance)
• debt_percent_gdp — Central government debt as % of GDP
• population_total — Total population
• Many more (50+ indicators per country)

Country codes: USA, GBR, DEU, JPN, CHN, FRA, CAN, AUS, etc.
