FOMC Minutes showed a growing openness to rate hikes from some participants

The FOMC minutes revealed that several participants are increasingly open to the possibility of rate hikes in upcoming meetings. This shift in sentiment could influence market expectations regarding future monetary policy, impacting the rate differential between the U.S. dollar and other currencies. As a result, the forex market, particularly pairs involving the U.S. dollar, may experience heightened volatility as traders adjust their positions based on anticipated changes in interest rates. The next key event for traders will be the upcoming inflation data release, which could further inform the Fed's decision-making process.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
