White House to Fox News: Trump has options he will not hesitate to use against Iran

The White House statement signaling President Trump’s willingness to use available options against Iran escalates geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, reinforcing concerns over potential military confrontation or heightened sanctions. This rhetoric directly impacts risk sentiment and oil supply security, driving upward pressure on crude prices and volatility in energy markets. Assets tied to regional stability, including Middle East-focused equities and oil-linked currencies, face heightened sensitivity, while safe-haven demand may benefit U.S. Treasuries and the dollar. The IRAN ticker, often used as a speculative proxy for geopolitical risk involving Iran, may see increased volume and price swings. Traders will watch the next U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) crude inventory report for signs of supply disruptions or strategic reserve movements.

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.
