🚨 PUTIN MADE DECISION TO ANNOUNCE TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE IN CONFLICT WITH UKRAINE - RIA PUTIN MADE DECISION TO ANNOUNCE CEASEFIRE IN CONNECTION WITH THE UPCOMING VICTORY DAY HOLIDAYS THAT WILL BE IN EFFECT MAY 8 - MAY 9 …

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary ceasefire in the conflict with Ukraine, set to take effect during the upcoming Victory Day holidays from May 8 to May 9. This decision may influence market sentiment by reducing immediate geopolitical tensions, thereby impacting risk appetite among investors. Assets most exposed include Russian equities and Ukrainian bonds, as a ceasefire could stabilize these markets and potentially attract capital flows. Traders will closely watch for any developments or statements from both governments following the ceasefire, which could signal the future trajectory of the conflict and its economic implications.

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.
