TRUMP SAYS BRILLIANT IF AMAZON, APPLE DON'T SEEK TARIFF REFUNDS

Trump's comment praising Amazon and Apple for not seeking tariff refunds signals potential favoritism toward companies complying with his trade policies, though no formal policy change was announced. The remark may influence investor sentiment toward tech giants with significant supply chains in tariff-affected regions, with implications for capital allocation and cost management strategies. AMZN and AAPL shares could see relative outperformance versus peers reliant on tariff exemptions, as markets price in reduced regulatory risk under a potential second Trump term. The statement also boosts visibility on the TARIFF futures market and related policy-sensitive equities ahead of the election. Traders will watch the upcoming U.S. trade deficit report for signs of import cost pressures that could reignite tariff-related equity volatility.

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.
