Sample of today's speakers · Live feed updates continuously in the Pro terminal
Rate decisions happen 8 times a year per bank. Speeches happen 60+ times a month across all banks. They're where forward guidance is shaped, where dissenting views surface, and where policymakers test market reactions before committee votes.
The next rate decision is mostly already priced. The signal is in HOW policymakers describe the path: "data-dependent", "meeting-by-meeting", "sufficient confidence". Every speech adds context.
Hawks and doves rarely vote alone — but they speak alone. Bullard, Mester, Schnabel, Knot, Macklem: their solo speeches signal which way the committee balance is shifting before the actual vote.
TNT delivers the live wire feed, not a post-speech summary. You see the policymaker's words as they cross, with hawkish/dovish tone tagging applied phrase-by-phrase, not just at the end.
When you're on a chart, you don't want to refresh a feed. TNT's squawk reads HIGH-impact speech headlines aloud the moment they cross. Hands-free for the desk that's actually trading.
TNT covers scheduled speeches, ad-hoc press conferences, parliamentary testimony and Diet appearances. Each speaker's tone history is recorded so you can read the meeting balance in advance.

Access the dedicated central banks tracker from the TNT Pro sidebar. The panel shows all upcoming meeting dates with countdown timers, current benchmark rates and the last known tone for each bank — hawkish, dovish or neutral.
On meeting day, the news feed automatically elevates all central bank wires to the top. Rate decisions hit the feed the instant they are released — before TV, before most platforms. The squawk box reads out the decision audibly so you don't need to watch the screen.
TNT aggregates the full policy statement text alongside analyst commentary and speech transcripts as they drop. Forward guidance, dot plot changes, inflation outlook revisions — all tagged and searchable within seconds of release.

On a typical week (no blackout period), 15-25 speeches across all major central banks. In the run-up to a rate decision, that can spike to 30-40 speeches in a single week as policymakers signal positioning before the vote. Blackout periods (1-2 weeks before each decision) silence official Fed/ECB speakers but other banks continue.
Pecking order roughly: 1) Fed Chair (Powell), 2) Treasury Secretary (when commenting on FX), 3) ECB President (Lagarde), 4) BoE Governor (Bailey), 5) BoJ Governor (Ueda). After the principals, regional Fed presidents and ECB Governing Council members can move EUR/USD 30-50 pips on tone shifts.
Hawkish = favoring tighter policy (rate hikes, balance sheet runoff, harder language on inflation). Dovish = favoring easier policy (rate cuts, balance sheet expansion, softer language on inflation). Neutral = no clear lean. TNT tags each speech in real time as the wire feeds key phrases.
10 days before each Fed meeting, FOMC members are required to remain silent — no public comments on monetary policy. The ECB has a 7-day quiet period. During blackouts, market positioning becomes more sensitive to data prints because policymakers can't push back on misreads.
Yes. PBoC (China), BCB (Brazil), Banxico (Mexico), TCMB (Turkey), CBR (Russia), RBI (India) Governor speeches are all wire-tracked, with translation where the original is non-English. EM central bank communication is increasingly market-moving as their currencies trade more freely.

Trading FX since 2013. The shift in central bank communication style — from rare set-piece statements to near-daily speeches — was the defining change of the post-2015 era. Building TNT made it possible to read 25+ speeches a week without dropping the chart.
Writes the daily Luís Barata Forex Trader blog (PT/BR) and the TNT analysis feed. Editorial focus: Fed dot plots, ECB forward guidance, BoJ yield-curve nuance, and how to fade the wire-first overreaction.
Every speech tracked on this page is sourced directly from the speaking central bank's press office or live wire feed. We do not relay aggregated summaries from Telegram or social media accounts — every transcript link is traceable to an official source.
Tone tagging is assigned by editorial review of each speech, not by automated sentiment analysis. The wire feed delivers headlines in real time; the full transcript follows, and the tone tag is reviewed against the full text before being finalized.
