Fed's Miran says inflation picture has deteriorated — but still favors multiple rate cuts this year

Federal Reserve official Miran indicated that the inflation outlook has worsened, yet he continues to support the idea of multiple interest rate cuts within the year. This stance suggests a potential shift in monetary policy that could influence market expectations regarding rate differentials. As a result, inflation-linked assets, particularly Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and commodities, may experience heightened volatility due to changing perceptions of inflation risk. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming inflation data releases, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which could further inform the Fed's policy direction and market sentiment.

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.
