Xi Jinping: US-China Shared Interests Outweigh Differences

China’s President Xi Jinping stated that the shared interests between China and the United States surpass their differences, highlighting a potential thaw in relations. This commentary may influence market sentiment by improving risk appetite, as it suggests a willingness to engage in dialogue and cooperation, potentially easing trade tensions. Markets most exposed include Chinese equities and U.S. stocks, particularly those reliant on trade with China, as improved relations could bolster economic forecasts. Traders will be attentive to upcoming trade data releases and any official statements from U.S. officials that may signal a shift in policy or diplomatic engagement.

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.
