Trump Claims Intel Would Dominate If He'd Been President

Former President Donald Trump suggested that if he had been in office during the early shifts in semiconductor manufacturing, Intel would have captured significant market share, potentially altering the landscape of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. This statement highlights concerns around supply chain dynamics and geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding U.S.-China relations and their impact on technology firms. The commentary may influence risk appetite in markets related to semiconductor stocks, particularly Intel (INTC) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), as traders assess the implications for U.S. competitiveness in the sector. Investors will likely focus on upcoming earnings reports from major semiconductor companies and any developments in U.S.-China trade policies as key catalysts for market movement.

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.
