Xi Affirms China-U.S. Trade Ties Yield Mutual Benefits

President Xi emphasized that the trade relationship between China and the U.S. yields mutual benefits, suggesting a commitment to maintaining and enhancing these ties. This statement may bolster risk appetite among investors, as it signals a potential easing of trade tensions that have previously impacted global markets. Chinese equities and sectors reliant on exports to the U.S. could see increased interest, particularly in technology and manufacturing. Traders will be attentive to upcoming trade data releases and any further comments from U.S. officials that may indicate the direction of bilateral trade negotiations.

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.
