⏰ US GDP due in ~18 min

The US GDP release is scheduled for publication in roughly 18 minutes, meaning the print will land within a short window that typically produces a sharp repricing across USD pairs and rate-sensitive assets. Because GDP growth feeds directly into expectations for the Federal Reserve's policy path, the transmission mechanism runs through the rate differential: a stronger-than-expected reading tends to lift Treasury yields and the dollar as traders pare back easing bets, while a weak print works in reverse by compressing yields and weighing on USD crosses such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY. The dollar index and front-end Treasury futures are the most immediately exposed instruments, given their sensitivity to shifts in Fed rate expectations, with equity index futures also reacting through the discount-rate channel. The advance estimate's components, particularly consumer spending, business investment, and the GDP price index, are where the market will look for signals on inflation persistence, since the deflator often matters as much as the headline rate. Traders should watch the core PCE price index and the subsequent jobless claims data for confirmation of whether the GDP reading reflects

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.
