About Helious

Helious is a live US market news service for people who trade rates. We watch the wires, the Treasury, the statistical agencies and the Fed, and you get the number as it lands. A release comes with its surprise against consensus, an auction with its tail and bidder split, and the curve with a name for the regime it is in. Reading it is free.

Every US economic release, scored against forecast

When CPI, nonfarm payrolls or GDP crosses, we put the print up beside consensus and size the surprise against how far that series usually misses. The market reaction sits next to the headline. Every indicator also keeps a permanent page of its own with the release schedule, the forecast, the prior, the recent prints and a sample CSV download. The full history comes through the API. Start with the next CPI release date, nonfarm payrolls, US GDP release dates, or every indicator we track.

Treasury auction results in seconds

Every US Treasury auction result is up within seconds of the wire. You get the tail or stop-through in basis points, bid-to-cover against that tenor's own twelve-auction average, the indirect, direct and dealer split, and a one-word verdict: strong, in line or weak. Each tenor keeps a permanent page with years of history and a CSV. Go straight to 10-year Treasury note auction results, 30-year bond auction results, 13-week bill auction results, 4-week Treasury bill auction results, or read what an auction tail and bid-to-cover actually tell you.

{
  "tenor": "10-year-note",
  "high_yield": 4.683,
  "tail_bps": -0.4,
  "bid_to_cover": 2.53,
  "indirect_pct": 76.7,
  "verdict": "strong",
  "captured_ms": 1900
}

It is the same result either way you read it, and an assistant can ask for it directly instead of scraping the page.

The auction schedule and the week ahead

Every tenor page carries the date of its next auction, so you are not hunting down a PDF to find it. The calendar shows the coming week of US releases and auctions with the time in ET, the forecast, the prior and the live result as it lands, and past weeks stay online at a permanent URL. The Treasury auction schedule, this week's US economic calendar and the next FOMC meeting are all here.

Yields, the curve regime and Fed speakers

The rates board carries the whole US Treasury curve, the day's move in basis points and the 2s10s and 3m10y spreads. It also names the regime, bull steepener, bear flattener or one of the other two, with a deadband so a rounding error never gets called a trend. We track Fed speakers hawkish to dovish as they talk.

How the desk works

Machines capture the numbers and fixed rules score them. The capture pipeline builds the data pages from primary official releases and market records, not by rewriting what another outlet said. If a number is on an indexable page you can trace it back to a primary record, and the rules behind any scored read are written down on the methodology page. None of it is investment advice.
