## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a forex trader or AI agent needs a quick, synthesized read on global equity market conditions and their directional implications for currency pairs — especially when assessing risk-on vs. risk-off sentiment ahead of a trading session. Prefer this over generic financial data APIs when you want forex-contextualized interpretation rather than raw price feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Market data unavailable during off-hours or data feed disruption — returns 503 or empty snapshot
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not processed correctly — returns 402 Payment Required
- Upstream index data stale or delayed — brief may reflect prior session data
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Real-time macro intelligence for forex and CFD traders. All endpoints require x402 payment (USDC on Base mainnet) via the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.

## Output

A structured equities pulse brief covering major global stock indices (e.g. S&P 500, Nasdaq, DAX, Nikkei), their current performance direction, overall risk sentiment classification, and forex-specific implications such as USD, JPY, or safe-haven flow signals.
