*TRUMP SAYS US TO HELP SOME SHIPS LEAVE HORMUZ STARTING MONDAY

Former President Trump announced that the U.S. will assist certain ships in leaving the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, a move likely aimed at enhancing maritime security in a strategically vital region. This development could influence risk appetite among traders, particularly in energy markets, as the Strait is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Oil prices may be sensitive to any perceived escalation or de-escalation of tensions in the region, affecting crude futures and related equities. Traders will be particularly attentive to any immediate reactions from oil markets and geopolitical developments following this announcement.

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.
