GLU LIVE INDEXv0

The Global Unit (GLU)

One GLU buys the same world consumption basket, every day, forever. This page computes the index live from official statistics — US, euro-area, Japanese, UK and Swiss CPIs and daily FX — with nothing to trust but public data.

1 GLU =
US dollars · epoch 2026-01 = $1.0000. The price rises with world inflation — that is the product.

Your money, in GLU

The simulator answers the only question that matters: not "what is it worth in dollars" but "what does it still buy."

Audit trail

Every input is a public series anyone can re-fetch. CPIs beyond their last official print are extrapolated at their own trailing-12-month rate until the next release lands.
