# ConsumerPulse

US consumer-demand signal — the demand-side mirror of CyclePulse. Returns headline retail & food-services sales with month and year trend, the core measure (excluding autos and gasoline — the cleaner underlying-demand read), e-commerce vs restaurant spending, a 13-sector year-over-year breakdown with the strongest and weakest movers, and a plain-English consumer phase (resilient, softening, stalling, or pullback). Values are nominal (not inflation-adjusted). Monthly Census release. $0.05 via x402 on Base or Solana. | Also: CyclePulse (cycle.lonestaroracle.xyz) | MacroPulse (macro.lonestaroracle.xyz) | SupplyChainPulse (supply.lonestaroracle.xyz) | Full catalog: lonestaroracle.xyz
