FED CHAIR POWELL: CONCERN OVER MONETARY POLICY CREDIBILITY IS NOT WHAT'S DRIVING MY DECISION TO REMAIN IN ROLE, ADDING THAT WARSH POSSESSES THE SKILLS TO PERFORM WELL.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that concerns over the credibility of monetary policy are not influencing his decision to continue in his role, while expressing confidence in the capabilities of potential successor Kevin Warsh. This statement may impact market sentiment by reinforcing the Fed's commitment to its current policy stance, thereby affecting risk appetite among investors. The primary transmission mechanism here is the stability of monetary policy, which can influence capital flows and interest rate expectations. Equity markets and fixed-income assets are particularly sensitive, as any perceived uncertainty in leadership could lead to volatility in these sectors. Traders will be attentive to upcoming economic data releases, particularly inflation figures, which could further inform the Fed's policy direction.

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.
