TRUMP SEEKS TO DEFLATE IRAN AUTHORIZATION PUSH BY TELLING CONGRESS WAR IS OVER – SEMAFOR

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly urged Congress to reject any push for authorization related to military action against Iran, claiming that the war is over. This statement may influence market sentiment by reducing geopolitical risk, potentially leading to a more stable environment for capital flows into riskier assets. The energy sector, particularly oil markets, could be most affected, as reduced tensions with Iran may alleviate supply concerns and stabilize prices. Traders will likely focus on upcoming congressional discussions and any formal resolutions regarding military engagement, which could further clarify the U.S. stance on Iran.

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.
