JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says he doesn't care if Jerome Powell remains as a Federal Reserve Governor.

President Trump stated that he does not have a preference regarding Jerome Powell's continuation as a Federal Reserve Governor. This comment may influence market sentiment by affecting perceptions of Fed independence and the potential for future monetary policy shifts. The USD could experience volatility as traders reassess the implications of political influence on the Fed's decision-making process, particularly in the context of interest rate differentials. Additionally, equities linked to Trump, such as those in the financial sector, may react to changes in investor risk appetite. Traders will be watching upcoming Federal Reserve meetings for any signals regarding interest rate adjustments or policy changes.

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.
