Recent analysis highlights three stocks that significantly outperformed the S&P 500 during the market downturn in 2022, suggesting potential resilience in the face of future volatility. This performance may be attributed to a flight to quality, where investors favor stable, high-performing stocks amid heightened risk aversion. The stocks mentioned are likely to attract capital flows from risk-averse investors looking for safe havens, particularly in uncertain economic conditions. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming earnings reports and economic indicators, such as inflation data, which could influence market sentiment and risk appetite.

Why this matters for traders
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.
How active traders react to headlines like this
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.
