*TRUMP: US NOT LEAVING HORMUZ STRAIT NOW

Former President Trump stated that the U.S. will not withdraw its military presence from the Strait of Hormuz at this time. This announcement may influence market sentiment through the channel of geopolitical risk, as heightened military presence can lead to increased tensions in a critical oil transit route. Oil markets, particularly Brent crude, are most exposed due to potential supply disruptions that could arise from any conflict in the region. Traders will be attentive to upcoming developments in U.S. foreign policy and military engagements, particularly any statements from current administration officials regarding the situation in the Strait.

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.
