Market agenda: Copom, Fed, IPCA-15 and US GDP are highlights of the week - Valor Econômico

This week’s market agenda includes key events such as the Copom meeting in Brazil, the Federal Reserve's policy decisions, the release of the IPCA-15 inflation index, and the US GDP report. These events are expected to influence rate differentials and risk appetite across global markets. The USD may experience volatility as traders react to the Fed's stance on interest rates and inflation expectations, while Brazilian assets could be impacted by the Copom's monetary policy direction. Key catalysts to watch include the Fed's interest rate decision on Wednesday and the US GDP growth figures set to be released on Thursday, which will provide insight into economic momentum and potential implications for monetary policy.

The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency and the base for most forex majors. Headlines about Federal Reserve policy, US macro data (CPI, NFP, GDP), and Treasury yield shifts typically drive USD pair direction within seconds of release.

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.
