CHINA FOREIGN MINISTRY, ON IRAN WAR: HOPES RELEVANT PARTIES MAINTAIN MOMENTUM FOR CEASEFIRE TALK

China's Foreign Ministry expressed hope that relevant parties maintain momentum toward ceasefire talks concerning the Iran conflict, emphasizing diplomatic resolution over escalation. The statement supports risk-off sentiment moderation in oil and equity markets, as reduced geopolitical flare-up expectations ease supply disruption fears in the Middle East. Energy markets, particularly Brent crude, and emerging market equities with regional exposure—especially Chinese tech and Iranian-linked trade proxies—are likely to see stabilizing capital flows. Investors will watch for progress in indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations and any follow-up statements from Gulf OPEC members on production stability. A key near-term catalyst is the upcoming OPEC+ ministerial meeting, where output policy could signal confidence in geopolitical risk containment.

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.
