TRUMP PRECLUDES THE POSSIBILITY OF PARING BACK HIS TARIFFS, SAYING “IF I TOOK TARIFFS OFF? WE HAVE 3,000 PLANTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. EVERY SINGLE PLANT WOULD STOP BUILDING, RIGHT?” - CNBC

President Trump, as quoted by CNBC, rejected the idea of rolling back tariffs, arguing that removing them would halt the roughly 3,000 manufacturing plants currently under construction. The core transmission channel is policy-driven capital expenditure: tariffs are being framed as the incentive underpinning domestic industrial investment, so any signal of durability reduces uncertainty for firms committing capital to multi-year projects. Industrial and construction-linked equities, along with domestic manufacturers that benefit from protection, are most directly exposed, while import-dependent retailers and multinationals with cross-border supply chains face continued input-cost pressure and margin risk. Traders should watch upcoming trade-policy announcements and any revisions to tariff schedules, as well as incoming manufacturing construction spending and industrial production data, to gauge whether the investment thesis is translating into measurable activity.

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.
