Track the macro variables that actually move your portfolio — VIX, US10Y, DXY, gold, oil, etc. — with auto-computed impact on user's holdings. Each tracked indicator returns current value, change, and AI-generated impact analysis linked to the user's profiles. Use when: adding a macro indicator, pulling current macro dashboard, asking how VIX affects the portfolio. Triggers on: "track VIX", "current 10-year yield", "how's the dollar doing", "add gold to my macro watch", "remove US10Y", "宏观指标", "美债利率", "美元指数", "VIX恐慌指数".

AlphaGBM Macro View

Track key macro indicators — VIX, US10Y, DXY, gold, oil, BTC, etc. — in the user's knowledge base. Each indicator comes with auto-computed impact analysis linked to the user's actual holdings.

When to use

  • User wants to start tracking a macro variable (VIX, yields, USD, gold…)
  • User asks for current macro dashboard / snapshot
  • User asks how a macro change affects their portfolio
  • User wants to stop tracking an indicator
  • User mentions "宏观" / "VIX" / "美债" / "美元" / "macro" / "yield"

Prerequisites

  • API Key: env ALPHAGBM_API_KEY (format agbm_xxxx…).
  • Base URL: default https://alphagbm.zeabur.app. Override via ALPHAGBM_BASE_URL.
  • No profile requirement — macro tracking is independent of the company profile list.

API Endpoints

All endpoints require Authorization: Bearer $ALPHAGBM_API_KEY.

1. List tracked indicators (also returns supported catalog)

GET /api/research/macro

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "indicators": [
    {
      "indicator_key": "VIX",
      "display_name": "CBOE Volatility Index",
      "current_value": 18.2,
      "previous_value": 16.8,
      "change_pct": 8.3,
      "impact_analysis": "Rising VIX — elevated uncertainty. Your NVDA & TSLA positions are high-beta; consider…",
      "last_updated_at": "2026-04-13T10:15:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "supported": {
    "VIX":    {"name": "CBOE Volatility Index",   "category": "volatility"},
    "US10Y":  {"name": "US 10-Year Treasury",     "category": "yields"},
    "DXY":    {"name": "US Dollar Index",         "category": "currency"},
    "GOLD":   {"name": "Gold Spot",               "category": "commodity"},
    ...
  }
}

The supported field is the catalog of valid indicator_key values. Use it to present options when the user asks "what can I track".

2. Add indicator

POST /api/research/macro
Content-Type: application/json

{"indicator_key": "VIX"}
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
indicator_keystringyesMust be in the supported catalog

400 response for unsupported keys:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Unsupported indicator. Supported: ['VIX', 'US10Y', 'DXY', ...]"
}

3. Remove indicator

DELETE /api/research/macro/<INDICATOR_KEY>

Uses the key (VIX, not an id). 404 if not tracked.

Response schema — indicator

{
  id, indicator_key,
  display_name,              // human-readable name
  current_value,             // most recent reading
  previous_value,            // for change_pct computation
  change_pct,                // % change
  impact_analysis,           // AI-generated, references user's holdings
  last_updated_at
}

Common indicator keys

KeyMeaningWhy it matters
VIXCBOE Volatility IndexRisk sentiment, option pricing
US10YUS 10-Year Treasury YieldDiscount rate, bond-equity rotation
US2YUS 2-Year YieldRate-hike expectations
DXYUS Dollar IndexEM / commodity / multinational earnings
GOLDGold spotHedge, real-yield inverse
OILWTI crudeInflation / energy sector
BTCBitcoinRisk appetite, crypto-adjacent stocks
HKDHKD liquidityHK market liquidity signal

Always call GET /api/research/macro first to fetch the live supported catalog — keys may be added/retired.

Typical Workflow

1. User: "Track VIX and the 10-year yield"
   → POST /api/research/macro {"indicator_key": "VIX"}
   → POST /api/research/macro {"indicator_key": "US10Y"}
   → Confirm both added with their current values

2. User: "What's the macro picture?"
   → GET /api/research/macro
   → Present each indicator: value, change, impact on their holdings

3. User: "Stop tracking DXY"
   → DELETE /api/research/macro/DXY

4. User: "Is high VIX hurting my positions?"
   → GET /api/research/macro → read VIX's impact_analysis field
   → The impact_analysis already references the user's specific holdings

Output Formatting Tips

When presenting macro indicators:

  1. Table-first for multi-indicator views: key · value · change% · one-line impact
  2. Highlight change direction with arrow/color (↑ red for VIX/yields up, ↓ green etc.)
  3. Lead with impact_analysis when user asks "how does X affect my portfolio" — it's pre-computed with their holdings in mind
  4. Stale data — if last_updated_at > 1d old, note "data may be stale, refresh coming"
  5. When user asks "what can I track", show the supported catalog grouped by category
