IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER INFORMED PUTIN THAT THE U.S. IS HINDERING DIPLOMACY DUE TO ITS 'DESTRUCTIVE HABITS', 'UNREASONABLE DEMANDS', AND INCONSISTENT STANCES, ACCORDING TO IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTRY ON TELEGRAM.…

Iran’s foreign minister conveyed to Putin that U.S. foreign policy—marked by inconsistent positions, unreasonable demands, and disruptive behavior—is obstructing diplomatic progress, according to Iran’s foreign ministry. This reinforces geopolitical alignment between Iran and Russia, both of which face extensive Western sanctions, supporting risk-on sentiment for alternative trade and energy flows outside Western-controlled financial channels. The remarks may bolster bilateral cooperation in energy, defense, and financial de-dollarization efforts, benefiting Russian and Iranian state-linked entities through enhanced capital and commodity flows. Given the current sanctions environment, direct market impacts on sovereign debt or equity are limited, but any expansion in Russia-Iran trade could affect global energy pricing dynamics and shipping routes. Traders will watch upcoming OPEC+ meetings and Caspian Sea export data for signs of coordinated supply adjustments or increased Sino-Russian-Iranian energy trade volumes.

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.
