LIVE | 'Started an unlawful war!': House votes on Trump's war in chief Pete Hegseth's impeachment

The House is holding a vote on articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with the headline quoting a lawmaker's charge that he started an unlawful war. The headline itself does not specify the military action, its scope, or the vote outcome, so the transmission channel to markets is indirect and uncertain. Any conflict-related risk premium would typically flow through energy and defense equities, safe-haven demand for Treasuries and gold, and dollar strength, while a purely political vote on impeachment, which is unlikely to remove a cabinet secretary through the House alone, tends to have limited direct price impact. Traders should watch whether the vote result or subsequent Senate action shifts expectations around U.S. military commitments, and monitor oil futures and defense-sector moves for any signs that geopolitical risk is being repriced.

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.
