Central banks, inflation, employment, PMIs, fiscal policy and surprise comments from policymakers can move currencies and yields before equity traders finish reading the headline.
Real-time financial news agency
Charts describe. News causes.
Every large market move begins with new information: a central bank line, a CPI print, an oil inventory surprise, a sanctions headline, a filing, a takeover rumor, or a policy comment. SquawkNews is built to get that information to traders before the chart finishes explaining the move.
The market reacts to information
The point is simple: the faster a trader understands the headline, the faster they can decide whether the price move is real, fading, or just beginning.
Research note
Scheduled economic releases have measurable, immediate effects on Treasury prices, and the reaction is concentrated in the minutes around the release.

The trader problem
Watching charts and reading every feed are two jobs. Markets do not wait while a trader switches context.
You catch headlines, but you miss the candle, the level, the volume and the reaction.
You catch the move, but you may not know whether it came from macro data, a central bank comment, geopolitics or a company headline.
