What it measures

AURA-PUI is a real-time gauge of U.S. economic policy uncertainty. A higher reading indicates broader market-implied uncertainty about the policy outlook; a lower reading indicates compression of that uncertainty, not market improvement. Coverage spans monetary, fiscal & regulatory, trade & geopolitical, macroeconomic, and sector-specific policy domains. It is provided for informational and research purposes only.

Methodology

For each eligible contract, AURA-PUI computes an uncertainty score. Scores are normalized across the basket and weighted to reflect contract size and quote tightness. Concentration rules cap how much any single domain or any single contract can contribute to the headline. Full methodology: aurelianhq.com/indices/aura-pui/methodology.
