| description | Macro-economic dashboard — GDP, CPI, unemployment, interest rates, Treasury yields, trade balance, and economic events calendar. Use when the user asks about the economy, macro trends, interest rates, or economic indicators. |
| version | 0.4.0 |
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
- Determine scope — country/countries and indicators of interest
- Fetch macro indicators —
macro-indicator for GDP, CPI, unemployment, etc.
- Fetch Treasury rates —
ust/yield-rates, ust/bill-rates, ust/long-term-rates, ust/real-yield-rates
- 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).
- Calculate trends — YoY changes, trends, inflection points
- 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 USDgdp_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 GDPpopulation_total — Total population- Many more (50+ indicators per country)
Country codes: USA, GBR, DEU, JPN, CHN, FRA, CAN, AUS, etc.
