**JUST IN:** 🇺🇸 US tech stocks gain over $750,000,000,000 after Democrats win control of the US House and Senate.

The headline reports that US tech stocks added more than $750 billion in market value following news that Democrats won control of both the House and Senate, as relayed by Watcher Guru. The likely transmission channel is political risk repricing: a unified Democratic government could reduce the probability of gridlock-driven fiscal and regulatory uncertainty, and markets often respond to that clarity by lifting equity valuations, particularly in large-cap growth names. Nasdaq-100 (NDX) constituents, which carry heavy weightings in mega-cap technology and are sensitive to discount-rate expectations and regulatory outcomes, would be the most directly exposed. Traders should note that the headline attributes the move to an election result without isolating it from concurrent drivers such as rates, earnings, or sector rotation, so the causal link warrants verification against official index data. The next catalyst to watch is the Federal Reserve's policy communication and Treasury yield behavior in the sessions following the result, since a sustained move in long-end yields would indicate whether the rally reflects genuine repricing of policy risk or is being driven by other factors.

The Nasdaq-100 (NDX) is the US large-cap tech benchmark. NDX is more sensitive to rate decisions than SPX because of longer-duration cash flows, and heavily concentrated in Tech/Comms names — mega-cap earnings season dominates price action.

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.
