Trump will say the Iran war is "winding down" in address, will criticize NATO

Former President Trump is expected to announce that the Iran war is "winding down" in his upcoming address, while also criticizing NATO. This statement may influence risk appetite in the geopolitical landscape, potentially affecting capital flows towards safer assets like gold and U.S. Treasuries. Markets sensitive to Middle Eastern stability, particularly oil prices, could react to perceived de-escalation in conflict. Traders will be closely watching for any immediate market reactions following the address, especially in energy and defense sectors, as well as subsequent commentary from NATO officials.

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.
