Bank of Japan says monetary policy will be guided flexibly to ensure inflation is achieved in a stable and sustainable manner around the 2% target.

The Bank of Japan announced that its monetary policy will remain flexible to achieve a stable and sustainable inflation rate around its 2% target. This approach signals a commitment to maintaining accommodative monetary conditions, which may influence rate differentials between Japan and other economies. As a result, the Japanese yen could face depreciation pressures, particularly against currencies from countries with tightening monetary policies. Traders will be closely watching upcoming inflation data releases in Japan to gauge the effectiveness of this policy stance and any potential shifts in 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.
