Xi Jinping: Trust Between China and Russia Strengthening

Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that the foundation of trust between China and Russia is strengthening, indicating a deepening geopolitical alliance. This development could enhance risk appetite among investors, particularly in emerging markets, as it suggests increased economic cooperation and potential trade agreements between the two nations. Assets most exposed include Chinese and Russian equities, as well as commodities linked to their economic activities, such as energy and raw materials. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming bilateral meetings or trade agreements that may further solidify this partnership and impact market dynamics.

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.
