Trump Claims 'Total Surrender' by Opponents, Media Attack

Former President Donald Trump has claimed that there is a "total surrender" by his political opponents and has accused the media of launching an attack against him. This statement could influence market sentiment through the channel of risk appetite, as political instability often leads to increased volatility in financial markets. Assets most exposed include those related to defense and security, as heightened political tensions may lead to increased government spending in these sectors. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming legal proceedings involving Trump, as these events could further impact market dynamics and investor sentiment.

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.
