Trump and Xi Meet: New Consensuses Could Shift Market Sentiment

During the latest summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Beijing emphasized the establishment of "new consensuses" aimed at improving bilateral relations. This development could influence market sentiment through a potential easing of trade tensions, impacting risk appetite among investors. Chinese equities and U.S. stocks with significant exposure to China, such as technology and manufacturing sectors, are particularly vulnerable to shifts in trade policy. Traders will be closely watching for any concrete agreements or statements emerging from the summit that may signal a change in the current trade landscape.

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.
