JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Over $900,000,000,000 added to the US stock market at open after Democrats win control of both the US House and Senate.

The headline reports that more than $900 billion in value was added to the US stock market at the open following news that Democrats had won control of both the House and Senate. Electoral outcomes of this kind typically move equities through policy-expectation channels, as traders reprice the likely path of tax, regulatory, spending, and trade legislation rather than through any immediate change in corporate earnings. Sectors most sensitive to fiscal and regulatory shifts, such as healthcare, energy, financials, and technology, would be the primary candidates for repricing, while the broader index-level gain suggests the market interpreted the result as removing a perceived tail risk of gridlock or abrupt policy swings. Traders will likely focus on the Senate's committee assignments and early signals on appropriations and tax policy, as well as upcoming Federal Reserve communications and Treasury yield moves, to assess whether the initial move reflects durable repricing or a short-lived relief rally.

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.
