U.S. ANNOUNCES NEW SANCTIONS ON IRAN, ACCORDING TO TREASURY WEBSITE.

The U.S. Treasury has announced new sanctions targeting Iran, which are expected to further isolate the Iranian economy and restrict its access to international markets. This development could influence capital flows and risk appetite, particularly in energy markets, as heightened tensions may disrupt oil supply and elevate prices. The sanctions are likely to impact commodities linked to Iranian exports, especially crude oil, which remains sensitive to geopolitical risks. Traders will be closely watching the response from Iran and any retaliatory measures, as well as upcoming OPEC meetings that could address potential supply adjustments in light of these sanctions.

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.
