TRUMP SAID HE INSTRUCTED NETANYAHU TO RESTRICT ISRAELI MILITARY OPERATIONS IN LEBANON TO "SURGICAL" STRIKES AND AVOID A WIDER CONFLICT, REMARKING: "HE HAS GOT TO DO IT MORE SURGICALLY — NOT KNOCK DOWN BUILDINGS… IT IS…

Former President Trump stated he advised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to limit military operations in Lebanon to "surgical" strikes to prevent escalation into a broader conflict. This guidance may influence geopolitical risk appetite, particularly in the Middle East, as investors assess the potential for increased stability or further tensions in the region. Assets most exposed include Israeli equities and defense-related stocks, which could react to shifts in military strategy and perceived risk levels. Traders will be closely watching upcoming statements from Israeli officials and any developments in military engagements that could signal a change in operational strategy.

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.
