SENIOR IRANIAN SECURITY SOURCE SAYS IRAN'S MESSAGE IS CLEAR: AMERICANS WILL BE TARGETED IF THEY MOVE FORWARD IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ - MIZAN NEWS AGENCY

A senior Iranian security official has warned that American forces will be targeted if they proceed with actions in the Strait of Hormuz. This statement heightens geopolitical tensions, potentially impacting oil supply routes and increasing risk premiums in energy markets. The threat could lead to a rise in oil prices due to concerns over supply disruptions, particularly affecting Brent crude and regional equities tied to oil production. Traders will be closely watching for any military movements or further statements from U.S. officials, as well as the upcoming OPEC meeting, which could influence production decisions amid these tensions.

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.
