PUTIN WARNED US AGAINST NEW MILITARY ACTION IN IRAN IN TRUMP CALL: KREMLIN

The Kremlin reported that President Putin cautioned former President Trump against initiating new military actions in Iran during a recent phone call. This warning reflects heightened geopolitical tensions, which can influence risk appetite among investors and lead to volatility in emerging markets. Iranian assets, particularly oil and currency markets, may be most exposed due to potential supply disruptions or sanctions that could arise from military conflicts. Traders will be closely watching upcoming developments in U.S.-Iran relations, especially any announcements regarding military deployments or diplomatic efforts, as these could significantly impact market sentiment.

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.
