IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER ARAGHCHI SPOKE ON THE PHONE WITH EU FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF KALLAS ABOUT THE REGIONAL SITUATION AND GLOBAL MATTERS.

Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi engaged in a phone conversation with EU Foreign Policy Chief Kallas, discussing regional dynamics and broader global issues. This dialogue may influence geopolitical stability, impacting risk appetite among investors, particularly in energy markets sensitive to Middle Eastern tensions. Assets most exposed include Iranian oil exports and European energy stocks, as any escalation or de-escalation in regional conflicts can lead to significant supply disruptions or changes in trade flows. Traders will be particularly attentive to any subsequent statements or agreements that emerge from this discussion, as they could signal shifts in diplomatic relations or sanctions policies.

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.
