China Affirms Mutual Benefits of US Trade Relations

The Chinese Foreign Ministry reiterated that economic and trade relations with the United States are mutually beneficial, a statement that could be interpreted as an attempt to de-escalate trade tensions. This communication aims to influence risk appetite by signaling a potential for stability or improvement in bilateral relations, which have been a significant source of geopolitical uncertainty. Assets most exposed include Chinese equities, particularly those with significant export exposure to the U.S., and the Chinese Yuan, as reduced trade friction could support capital flows and economic sentiment. Traders will closely monitor any official statements from the U.S. side regarding trade policy or potential tariff adjustments, as well as upcoming trade data releases between the two nations.

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.
