FED'S HAMMACK STATES THE US DOLLAR REMAINS THE LEADING CURRENCY.

Federal Reserve official Hammack emphasized that the US dollar continues to hold its position as the dominant global currency. This assertion supports the dollar's strength through the channel of capital flows, as investors typically favor the dollar during periods of uncertainty or economic volatility. The currency's status is particularly influential on foreign exchange markets and commodities priced in dollars, which may experience fluctuations in response to shifts in investor sentiment. Traders will be closely watching upcoming economic data releases, particularly the US inflation figures, as they could impact the dollar's trajectory and the Fed's monetary policy stance.

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.
