IRAN SAYS TALKS UNDER ‘FINGER ON THE TRIGGER’ Fatemeh Mohajerani said Iran is negotiating in a state of full military readiness, warning it would respond more forcefully to any renewed attacks.

Iran's statement regarding its negotiations being conducted under a state of military readiness indicates heightened geopolitical tensions in the region. This situation could impact risk appetite among investors, particularly in markets sensitive to Middle Eastern stability. Oil prices may be particularly exposed, as any escalation in conflict could disrupt supply chains and lead to increased volatility. Traders will be closely watching for developments in the ongoing negotiations and any potential military actions that could arise from these discussions.

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.
