RUSSIA'S PUTIN SAYS HE GOT A MESSAGE FROM IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER - RIA

Russian President Putin stated he received a message from Iran's Supreme Leader, according to RIA, signaling high-level diplomatic engagement between the two nations. This communication could influence regional geopolitical risk dynamics, particularly affecting energy markets and sanctions-related capital flows, as closer Russia-Iran coordination may complicate Western efforts to constrain both economies. The most exposed assets include Russian sovereign debt, Iranian crude oil supply channels, and regional energy infrastructure, given potential spillovers into Middle Eastern supply stability and sanctions enforcement. Traders will watch for any joint statements or military coordination announcements, as well as upcoming OPEC+ meetings, where aligned production policies could emerge. A key near-term catalyst is the next round of U.S. Treasury sanctions disclosures, which may reflect intelligence on deepening bilateral cooperation.

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.
