China’s foreign ministry emphasizes the importance of sustaining negotiations.

China's foreign ministry's emphasis on sustaining negotiations signals a potential de-escalation of trade tensions, suggesting a preference for dialogue over further punitive measures. This statement primarily impacts risk appetite, as it reduces the perceived likelihood of an immediate and significant deterioration in US-China relations. Assets most exposed include Chinese equities (e.g., CSI 300), which could see a relief rally, and global growth-sensitive commodities, given China's role as a major consumer. Traders will closely monitor any official statements or actions from the US administration regarding the next steps in trade talks, particularly ahead of upcoming tariff deadlines.

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.
