POWELL: WHAT HAPPENS IN NEXT 30-60 DAYS COULD CHANGE THINGS

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that developments over the next 30 to 60 days could significantly influence monetary policy decisions. This statement suggests potential shifts in interest rate expectations, impacting the rate differential between U.S. Treasuries and other global bonds. Markets sensitive to interest rate changes, particularly equities and fixed income, may experience volatility as traders reassess their positions based on forthcoming economic data. Key catalysts to watch include upcoming inflation reports and employment figures, which could provide insights into the Fed's policy trajectory.

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.
