JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Jerome Powell to remain on Federal Reserve Board as Governor after Fed Chair term ends.

Jerome Powell will continue serving on the Federal Reserve Board as a Governor after his term as Chair concludes, extending his influence on monetary policy beyond his chairmanship. This prolongs the market's exposure to Powell’s policy preferences, supporting continuity in the Fed’s approach to rate decisions and regulatory stance, which anchors expectations around gradual policy shifts. The USD and financial instruments tied to Fed policy signaling, including interest rate futures and Treasury yields, remain sensitive to Powell’s evolving views on inflation and labor dynamics. Reserve-related assets may see sustained institutional positioning aligned with Powell’s dovish or hawkish leanings during his governorship. Traders will watch the next FOMC meeting minutes and Powell’s public remarks for cues on rate cuts or hikes under his continued board membership.

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.
