FED CHAIR POWELL: THERE IS NO RUSH TO MAKE A DECISION ON LANGUAGE AT THIS POINT, AS DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE NEXT 30 TO 60 DAYS COULD ALTER THE PICTURE — ADDING THAT TODAY'S CALL WAS CLOSER THAN THE ONE IN MARCH.…

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that there is no immediate urgency to change the Fed's communication strategy, suggesting that upcoming economic developments over the next 30 to 60 days could significantly influence future decisions. This statement reflects a cautious approach to monetary policy amid evolving economic indicators, impacting market sentiment through the channel of risk appetite. Financial markets, particularly equities and interest rate-sensitive assets, are likely to be most affected as traders assess the implications of potential policy shifts. The next key catalyst to watch will be the upcoming inflation data release, which could provide insights into the Fed's future actions.

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.
