*IRAN'S ARAGHCHI TO VISIT MUSCAT, MOSCOW IN 'REGIONAL TOUR':IRNA

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani, also known as Araghchi, is set to visit Muscat and Moscow as part of a regional diplomatic tour aimed at strengthening bilateral ties, according to IRNA. The trip underscores ongoing efforts to deepen strategic coordination between Iran and Russia, particularly amid shared pressures from Western sanctions and evolving geopolitical alignments in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Market exposure centers on energy and defense-linked sectors, where continued Iran-Russia collaboration could affect regional supply dynamics and sanction evasion pathways, influencing risk premiums on Russian and Iranian assets. Increased diplomatic engagement may also support capital flows within non-Western financial channels, benefiting entities tied to alternative trade settlement mechanisms. Traders will watch for any joint statements on energy cooperation or military coordination emerging from the Moscow leg of the tour as a near-term catalyst.

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.
