TRUMP ORDERS FEDERAL AGENENCIES TO PRIORITIZE AMERICAN-MADE GOODS, LIMIT FOREIGN PURCHASE WAIVERS

Former President Trump has directed federal agencies to prioritize the procurement of American-made goods and to limit waivers for foreign purchases. This policy shift could impact capital flows and supply chains by increasing demand for domestic products while potentially raising costs for federal contracts reliant on foreign suppliers. The manufacturing sector and companies with significant foreign supply chains may face heightened scrutiny and operational adjustments. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming reports on manufacturing activity and any legislative responses that could further shape trade policies.

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.
