TRUMP SAYS THAT BECAUSE OF HIM THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS DOING BETTER THAN EVER, ESPECIALLY IN MICHIGAN, AND THAT HE SAVED SELFRIDGE AIR FORCE BASE WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE CLOSING IT DOWN, SAVING THOUSANDS OF JOBS - TRUTH SOCIAL

Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that the auto industry is performing better than ever, particularly in Michigan, and that he prevented the closure of Selfridge Air Force Base, which he said preserved thousands of jobs. The post is a political assertion rather than a market-moving policy announcement, so its direct transmission to asset prices runs mainly through sentiment and perceived policy direction rather than through a discrete change in tariffs, rates, or fiscal spending. Any repricing would likely concentrate in U.S. automakers and auto suppliers with heavy Michigan exposure, such as General Motors and Ford, where trade policy, tariff expectations, and EV regulatory signals drive earnings outlooks. Investors weighing these claims should check them against hard data, including monthly U.S. light vehicle sales and Michigan employment figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which are scheduled for upcoming release and will show whether the industry's stated momentum is reflected in actual production and hiring.

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.
