Miranda Sarmento Predicts Upward Revision for Two-Year GDP

Miranda Sarmento indicated that GDP figures from the past two years are likely to be revised upwards, suggesting stronger economic performance than previously reported. This upward revision may influence market sentiment by enhancing risk appetite among investors, as improved economic indicators typically bolster confidence in growth prospects. Assets most exposed to this development include equities and commodities, which tend to benefit from increased economic activity and consumer spending. Traders will be particularly attentive to the upcoming GDP release and any revisions from national statistics agencies, as these will provide further clarity on the economic outlook.

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.
