Macro, Rates & FX

Cross-asset macroeconomic data and FX intelligence: real-time Treasury curves, commodity spot prices, forex news with sentiment, CFTC positioning, macro regimes, and earnings calendars. The core macro desk toolkit.

What's inside#

Treasury yields & rates: Live US Treasury curve (1M–30Y) from Polygon; recession-watch spreads (2s10s, 3m10y); breakeven inflation (5Y, 10Y); and trade-weighted USD index—all updated T+1. Quote these numbers verbatim instead of training data.

Real-time commodities: Live spot prices for WTI oil, Brent, gold, silver, natural gas, and copper via FRED anchored to live ETF tracking prices (USO, BNO, GLD, SLV, UNG, CPER). Bridges FRED's publish lag so prices reflect today's market action.

CFTC Commitments-of-Traders: Weekly positioning by trader cohort (money managers, producers, specs, small traders) for 50+ futures contracts. Net positioning deltas identify exhaustion/accumulation at market turns.

Forex news & sentiment: Articles with sentiment scores for 200+ currency pairs (EUR-USD, GBP-USD, etc.) via ForexNewsAPI. Filter by pair, date range, or economic topic (CPI, Fed, ECB, GDP, etc.).

Earnings calendars: Multi-source consensus (Benzinga, Finnhub, web search) for next confirmed earnings date, time-of-day (BMO/AMC), and confidence scoring. Demotes projections to metadata; primary field carries confirmed dates only.

Macro regime: Current VIX, DXY, S&P 500 trend, fear-greed index, credit spreads, 10Y yield, and regime classification (risk-on/neutral/risk-off) with confidence.
