FED CHAIR POWELL: I AM GENUINELY PROUD OF THE WORK I HAVE DONE WITH MY COLLEAGUES OVER THESE YEARS, NOTING THAT MARKETS CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THE FED WILL DELIVER 2% INFLATION — OUR CREDIBILITY HAS NOT ERODED, PEOPLE…

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed pride in the Fed's efforts to maintain credibility regarding its inflation target of 2%. This statement reinforces the Fed's commitment to its inflation mandate, potentially influencing market expectations around interest rates and monetary policy. The transmission mechanism at play is the rate differential, as sustained confidence in the Fed's ability to control inflation may support the U.S. dollar while keeping bond yields stable. Assets most exposed include U.S. Treasuries and the dollar, as traders assess the implications for future rate hikes. Market participants will closely watch the upcoming inflation data release, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI), for indications of price pressures that could impact Fed policy.

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.
