12%+ 10%+ - These tech stocks are rallying as CPI adds fuel to the rebound

Recent reports indicate that certain technology stocks are experiencing significant rallies, with gains exceeding 12% and 10%, respectively, following the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. This movement is primarily driven by a shift in risk appetite among investors, as lower-than-expected inflation figures suggest a potentially more accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. The Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX), heavily weighted towards tech stocks, is particularly exposed to these dynamics, as investor sentiment shifts towards growth-oriented sectors. Traders will closely watch upcoming Federal Reserve meetings and any statements regarding interest rate policy, which could further influence market trajectories.

The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) is the US large-cap tech benchmark. NDX is more sensitive to rate decisions than SPX because of longer-duration cash flows, and heavily concentrated in Tech/Comms names — mega-cap earnings season dominates price action.

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.
