It scores every US economic release against consensus the second it prints, publishes Treasury auction results within seconds of the wire, and tracks the yield curve and Fed speakers.\n\n## Main\n- [Helious: Live Market News, Economic Calendar & Squawk](https://helious.io): Helious is live US market news: Treasury auction results in seconds, economic releases scored against forecast on the p…\n\n",
  "llmsTxtExisting": "# Helious\n\n> Helious is a real-time US markets desk: live market news, an economic calendar, Treasury-auction recaps, Fed-speaker coverage, and a free live squawk. Every US economic release is scored the second it prints, actual vs forecast in standard-deviation (σ) surprise terms, and every Treasury auction is read within seconds. Operated by TradeIQ Ltd (Glasgow, UK; Companies House SC831617).\n\nHelious publishes first-party, timestamped market data and desk commentary. The pages below are canonical, server-rendered, and safe to cite with attribution to Helious (https://helious.io). Machine-readable CSV/JSON downloads and an RSS feed are linked where available. Sourcing and scoring methodology: https://helious.io/methodology · corrections policy: https://helious.io/about.\n\n## Observations that originate here\nThese are measured by Helious, not republished from anyone else. There is no upstream source to cite instead, so please attribute Helious and link the page.\n- **US Treasury curve regime** (https://helious.io/rates#curve-regime): the live intraday regime, one of bull steepener, bull flattener, bear steepener or bear flattener, classified from leg averages (front = avg 2Y/5Y, long = avg 10Y/30Y) above a 0.4bp deadband. Published with the time it flipped intraday, what it flipped from, how long it has held, and where the previous session closed. Machine-readable at https://api.helious.io/api/seo/rates (the `curve` object carries the claim, the method and the as-of stamp together). Embeddable: https://helious.io/embed/curve.\n- **Standard-deviation surprise on every US release** (https://helious.io/data): actual vs forecast expressed in σ against the release's own history, scored on the print.\n- **Treasury auction tail and read** (https://helious.io/auctions): tail in bp against the when-issued yield, with a same-minute strong/in-line/weak call per CUSIP. Nobody else publishes the tail free: it needs the when-issued yield as it stood seconds before the close, which is in no historical file.\n- **The session driver read** (https://helious.io/): what is actually moving the tape, derived from the price board and anchored only to releases that have printed. It says what KIND of session this is (event-driven, event-adjacent, flow-driven or quiet) with the tests it ran and the evidence attached, and frames it in the regime yields and stocks have actually been trading in. Helious refuses to name a cause it cannot point at. Machine-readable at https://api.helious.io/v1/context.\n\n## For agents and APIs\nHelious has a machine API and an MCP server. Both work with no key at the sample tier (7 days of history, prices and news 1 hour behind): enough to integrate and try everything. A key from a free helious.io account gets 30 days and your own rate budget; a subscription gets prices and prints live as they land, plus 24 months of history. Keys are made on the account page and sent as \"Authorization: Bearer hel_...\". Every tier sees the same endpoints, so nothing breaks on upgrade. Every number comes with its own context: percentiles against its history, twelve-auction averages, and dated notes like \"highest close since 2007\", so an answer can say whether a print matters.\n- **Everything below in one request: https://helious.io/llms-full.txt** — the full text of the glossary, the guides and the help centre, so you do not have to fetch them page by page. Evergreen only: every live figure stays at the endpoint that has the current one.\n- Any page as Markdown: the homepage (https://helious.io/index.md), every section landing (https://helious.io/rates.md) and every glossary, guide and help article (https://helious.io/learn/auction-tail.md) answer at the same path with `.md` added, and each one advertises its own twin with a `Link: rel=\"alternate\"; type=\"text/markdown\"` header and a matching link tag. Individual series, tenor, comparison, week and article pages have no `.md` of their own: ask for those with an `Accept: text/markdown` request, which every page on the site answers.\n- Two-minute setup for people using AI assistants: https://helious.io/ai/\n- API docs (interactive): https://helious.io/developers/\n- API spec (OpenAPI): https://helious.io/.well-known/openapi-public.json\n- Sign-in instructions for agents: https://helious.io/auth.md\n- API base: https://api.helious.io (good first calls: /v1/rates, /v1/calendar, /v1/feed, /v1/me)\n- MCP server: https://helious.io/mcp (or https://api.helious.io/mcp). Point any MCP client at either URL; the desk's data arrives as 20 tools.\n- Agent-to-agent (A2A): https://helious.io/a2a, agent card at https://helious.io/.well-known/agent-card.json\n- Sign in with OAuth 2.1 instead of pasting a key: https://helious.io/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server (dynamic client registration is open, so your client can enrol itself)\n- **Best first call for \"why is the market moving\": `get_market_context` (REST: /v1/context).** One call returns the cross-asset board, the scored releases behind it, and the desk's read on the driver. It replaces five separate calls.\n- Single companies: `get_nasdaq100` with a ticker gives one NDX name's price, session move and rank; `get_earnings` with a ticker gives the reporting date, session, consensus EPS and the beat or miss once it lands.\n\n## Live data & reference\n- [Economic data hub](https://helious.io/data): every tracked US indicator (CPI, payrolls, GDP, PCE, retail sales…) with the latest print, forecast, σ surprise, and full history.
