Netanyahu: Social Media Fuels Negative Views on Israel in U.S.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the increasing influence of social media is leading to a decline in favorable opinions about Israel among the American public. This sentiment could affect capital flows into Israeli markets, as negative public perception may deter foreign investment and impact tourism. The Israeli shekel and equities, particularly in sectors reliant on international relations, could be most exposed to shifts in sentiment driven by social media narratives. Traders will likely focus on upcoming public opinion polls or surveys regarding U.S.-Israel relations to gauge potential market impacts.

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.
