Anthony Scaramucci Warns Of 1970s-Style Stagflation, Says 'Brace Yourself For A Correction' Amid Iran War, Tariffs

Anthony Scaramucci has cautioned investors about the potential for a 1970s-style stagflation, linking this outlook to ongoing geopolitical tensions in Iran and the impact of tariffs. This scenario may lead to heightened risk aversion among investors, influencing capital flows and increasing demand for safe-haven assets. Markets most exposed include commodities, particularly oil, which could face supply disruptions, and equities that may suffer from reduced consumer spending. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming inflation data and central bank responses, which could provide further insight into the economic trajectory amid these pressures.

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.
