POWELL: THE PROSPECT OF A FURTHER RISE IN CORE INFLATION IS REAL — WE WILL NEED TO WAIT AND SEE — WITH THE CURRENT POLICY STANCE WELL POSITIONED TO DO JUST THAT.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the possibility of an increase in core inflation remains a significant concern, suggesting that current monetary policy is appropriately positioned to address this potential rise. This statement could influence market dynamics through the channel of inflation repricing, as traders reassess their expectations for future interest rates. Fixed income markets, particularly U.S. Treasuries, may experience volatility as investors react to the implications for yields and the Fed's policy trajectory. Upcoming inflation data releases, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, will be critical for traders seeking to gauge the Fed's next moves and the overall inflation outlook.

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.
