[ ](https://helious.io/news) [Open the terminal →](https://helious.io/) # About Helious Helious is a live US market news service for people who trade rates. It watches the wires, the Treasury, the statistical agencies and the Fed, and publishes the number the moment it lands: the economic release with its surprise against consensus, the auction with its tail and bidder split, the yield curve with a named regime. Reading it is free. *01*Capture ## Every US economic release, scored against forecast When CPI, nonfarm payrolls or GDP crosses, Helious does not just repeat the number. It compares the print to consensus, sizes the surprise against how far that series normally misses, and puts the market reaction beside the headline. Every indicator keeps a permanent page with its release schedule, forecast, prior, full history and a CSV download. Start with [the next CPI release date](https://helious.io/data/cpi), [nonfarm payrolls](https://helious.io/data/nonfarm-payrolls), [US GDP release dates](https://helious.io/data/gdp), or [every indicator we track](https://helious.io/data). Wire 08:30:00.0 Captured 08:30:01.9 Actual +0.6% vs +0.3% Surprise +1.4 sigma Retail Sales, 15 August 2026. Wire to screen in 1.9 seconds. *02*Auctions ## Treasury auction results in seconds Helious posts the result of every US Treasury auction within seconds of the wire: the tail or stop-through in basis points, bid-to-cover against its own twelve-auction average, the indirect, direct and dealer split, and a one-word verdict of strong, in line or weak. Each tenor keeps a permanent page with years of history and a CSV. See [10-year Treasury note auction results](https://helious.io/auctions/10-year-note), [30-year bond auction results](https://helious.io/auctions/30-year-bond), [13-week bill auction results](https://helious.io/auctions/13-week-bill), [4-week Treasury bill auction results](https://helious.io/auctions/4-week-bill), or read what an [auction tail](https://helious.io/learn/auction-tail) and [bid-to-cover](https://helious.io/learn/bid-to-cover-ratio) actually tell you. Human Agent 10-Year Note Auction · 12 Aug 2026 4.683% tail -0.4bp · b/c 2.53 · indirects 76.7% strong { "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 } The same result either way you read it. An assistant asks for it directly, no scraping. *03*Schedule ## The auction schedule and the week ahead Every tenor page carries the date of its next auction, so the schedule is not a PDF you have to hunt down. 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. See the [Treasury auction schedule](https://helious.io/auctions), [this week's US economic calendar](https://helious.io/calendar) and [the next FOMC meeting](https://helious.io/fomc). *04*Rates ## Yields, the curve regime and Fed speakers The rates board carries the whole US Treasury curve with the day's move in basis points, the 2s10s and 3m10y spreads, and a named regime: bull steepener, bear flattener and the other two, with a deadband so a rounding error is never called a trend. Fed speakers are tracked hawkish to dovish as they talk. See [Treasury yields and the curve](https://helious.io/rates), [the 2s10s spread](https://helious.io/learn/2s10s-spread) and [Fed speakers](https://helious.io/fed). *05*Method ## How the desk works Helious is machine-captured and methodology-governed. Data pages are generated by the capture pipeline from primary sources: the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, US Census Bureau, TreasuryDirect and the Federal Reserve, not rewritten from other outlets. Every number on an indexable page traces to a primary source, and every scored read follows the published rules on our [methodology page](https://helious.io/methodology). Nothing here is investment advice. Company information: TradeIQ Ltd, registered in Scotland, company number SC831617, Clyde Offices, 2nd Floor, 48 West George Street, Glasgow G2 1BP.

It scores every US economic release against consensus the second it prints, publishes Treasury auction results within seconds of the wire, tracks the yield curve and Fed speakers, and carries a live audio squawk. Reading it is free, with no card.Where can I find US Treasury auction results today?Helious publishes every US Treasury auction result within seconds of the wire: the tail or stop-through in basis points, bid-to-cover against its twelve-auction average, the indirect, direct and dealer split, and a strong, in line or weak verdict. Each tenor has a permanent page with years of history and a CSV download. See [10-year note auction results](https://helious.io/auctions/10-year-note) or [every tenor we cover](https://helious.io/auctions).When is the next Treasury auction?Every tenor page shows the date of its next auction alongside the last result, and the [calendar](https://helious.io/calendar) lists auctions beside economic releases for the week ahead. Treasury announces sizes and dates in advance, and Helious carries the same schedule without the PDF, updated as each new announcement lands.What is an auction tail?The tail is the gap between the high yield an auction stops at and the when-issued yield trading just before the deadline, quoted in basis points. A positive tail means buyers demanded a higher yield than the market expected, so demand was soft. A stop-through is the opposite: the auction cleared through the market. More on the [auction tail](https://helious.io/learn/auction-tail).When is the next CPI or GDP release?Each indicator keeps a permanent page with its release schedule, the exact time in ET, the consensus forecast, the prior value and the full history. CPI prints at 8:30 AM ET in the middle of the month and GDP at 8:30 AM ET on its quarterly schedule. See [CPI](https://helious.io/data/cpi), [GDP](https://helious.io/data/gdp) or [every indicator we track](https://helious.io/data).What does it mean to score a release against forecast?Helious compares the actual print to the consensus forecast, then measures that miss against how far the series normally deviates, so a 0.1 miss on a quiet indicator is not treated like a 0.1 miss on CPI. The result is a signed surprise score, published with the market reaction beside the headline. The rules are on the [methodology page](https://helious.io/methodology).Is Helious free?Yes.
