US Durable Goods Orders MoM (Sep): 1.8 actual (est 1.5, prev 0.1)

US durable goods orders rose 1.8% month-over-month in September, beating the consensus estimate of 1.5% and accelerating sharply from the prior month's upwardly revised 0.1% gain. The upside surprise points to firmer demand for long-lived manufactured goods, a category closely tied to business capital spending intentions. Because stronger capex signals resilient corporate activity, the print tends to lift expectations for near-term economic growth, which in turn can push up Treasury yields through a higher real rate path and reduce the probability of rapid policy easing. Rate-sensitive equities and the US dollar are the most directly exposed to this repricing, while cyclical industrial and capital goods names may see relative support. The next catalyst for traders is the core capital goods orders component, which strips out volatile aircraft and defense items and is a cleaner read on underlying business investment, alongside the upcoming weekly jobless claims and the Fed's subsequent communications on the growth 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.
