IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER KHAMENEI: IRAN TO GUARD MISSILE, NUCLEAR TECH LIKE ITS BORDERS

Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei stated that the country will protect its missile and nuclear technology with the same vigilance as its borders, signaling a commitment to maintaining its military capabilities. This rhetoric may heighten geopolitical tensions, influencing risk appetite in global markets, particularly in the Middle East. Assets most exposed include Iranian equities and regional tech sectors, which could face volatility due to potential sanctions or military responses. Traders will be attentive to any subsequent developments regarding international negotiations or military posturing, particularly in light of upcoming diplomatic talks or sanctions announcements.

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.
