⏰ US GDP due in ~18 min

The US GDP release is scheduled roughly 18 minutes from now, placing the print directly ahead of the trading session and making it a near-term repricing event for growth expectations. Because GDP readings feed into the Federal Reserve's assessment of economic momentum and the path of policy rates, a stronger-than-expected figure typically lifts Treasury yields and widens the rate differential that supports the dollar, while a weaker reading tends to pull yields lower and weigh on USD. The dollar is the most directly exposed asset, with USD crosses such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY likely to move first as short-dated yield expectations adjust. Traders should also watch the GDP deflator and the headline-to-core breakdown within the release, since an inflation component running hotter than the headline growth number can shift rate-cut expectations even if overall growth looks solid.

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.
