PBOC is expected to set the USD/CNY reference rate at 6.6731 – Reuters estimate

Reuters estimates that the People's Bank of China will set the USD/CNY daily reference rate at 6.6731 before the onshore session opens. The reference rate, or fixing, acts as a central anchor for the yuan's trading band, so a weaker-than-expected or stronger-than-expected fix signals the official stance on currency stability and the pace of depreciation or appreciation. The transmission mechanism runs through the managed-float regime: when the fixing sits stronger than the prevailing spot rate, it can dampen depreciation pressure and reduce capital outflow incentives, while a weaker fix can encourage exporters to convert dollar receipts and tilts sentiment toward a softer yuan. CNY onshore and offshore pairs, along with Asia-linked FX such as USD/KRW and USD/SGD, are most sensitive to these signals, while dollar-denominated Chinese equities and commodity currencies with heavy China exposure respond to any shift in perceived policy intent. Traders should watch the spread between the fixing and the spot rate in the first hours of trading and the next US Federal Reserve rate-path communication, since rate differentials remain the domin

The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency and the base for most forex majors. Headlines about Federal Reserve policy, US macro data (CPI, NFP, GDP), and Treasury yield shifts typically drive USD pair direction within seconds of release.

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.
