BREAKING: This Wall Street veteran says the next big energy play is something almost no one is watching. AI power stocks have been getting crushed.

A Wall Street veteran has publicly argued that an overlooked segment of the energy sector represents the next major opportunity, while noting that AI-related power stocks have recently sold off sharply. The headline does not name the specific companies, the magnitude of the decline, or the veteran's underlying thesis, so the claim is best treated as commentary rather than confirmed market movement. Transmission to the S&P 500 would likely run through sector weighting and earnings expectations, since AI infrastructure and power-generation names have become meaningful contributors to index performance and capital expenditure forecasts for hyperscale technology firms. Energy-linked and utility constituents of the index, along with semiconductor and data-center exposures, would be the most sensitive to any sustained repricing in AI power demand, as investors reassess how quickly electricity consumption from AI workloads will translate into contracted revenue. Traders should watch the next round of hyperscaler capital expenditure guidance and upcoming utility and independent power producer earnings for evidence of whether power-demand assumptions are being revised.

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.
