TRUMP SAYS THESE “AMERICAN PATRIOTS” ARE BEING ABSOLUTELY “BLURRED OUT” BY THE MEDIA AND THAT FOX IS DOING LITTLE TO HELP, CALLING IT THE ONLY REASON THE RACE IS CLOSE, “IF IT IS INDEED CLOSE” - TRUTH SOCIAL

Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that certain "American Patriots" are being "blurred out" by the media and that Fox News is doing little to help, which he cited as the reason an election race is close, if it is close at all. The statement is a political communications item with no reported policy action, economic data, or corporate disclosure attached to it. The transmission channel for markets is indirect and runs through political risk perception: a sustained intra-party or media-relations dispute can shift investor expectations about electoral outcomes, which in turn feeds into sector-specific policy bets such as energy, defense, healthcare, and financials. Assets most sensitive to this kind of signal include media equities like Fox Corporation and Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), which can see volatility on commentary about their platforms and audience dynamics. Traders will be watching the next major public opinion polls and any subsequent statements or actions regarding media coverage, as these will determine whether this remains rhetoric or develops into a measurable shift in election-related pricing.

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.
