A WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL: TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO SIGN THE DHS FUNDING BILL ON THURSDAY.

A White House official announced that former President Trump is expected to sign the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill on Thursday. This development may influence market sentiment through the channel of political stability, potentially enhancing risk appetite among investors. Assets related to Trump, including stocks of companies closely tied to his policies or administration, may see increased volatility as traders react to the implications of this funding bill. Market participants will particularly focus on any statements or reactions from Trump following the signing, which could provide further insights into his administration's priorities and impact on broader fiscal policy.

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.
