Trump: No Tariff Talks with Xi Amid Trade Tensions

Former President Donald Trump stated that tariffs were not discussed during his recent interactions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This lack of dialogue on tariffs may signal a continuation of the current trade policy stance, impacting risk appetite among investors concerned about U.S.-China trade relations. Markets sensitive to trade tensions, particularly those in the commodities sector and companies reliant on Chinese supply chains, could experience volatility as a result. Traders will be closely watching upcoming economic data releases, particularly U.S. inflation figures, which could influence the broader trade policy outlook and market sentiment.

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.
