TRUMP SAYS IRAN WILL BE 'BLOWN OFF' IF ATTACKS US SHIPS

Former President Donald Trump stated that Iran would face severe consequences if it attacks U.S. ships, indicating a potential escalation in geopolitical tensions. This rhetoric could influence risk appetite among investors, particularly in markets sensitive to geopolitical instability, such as oil and shipping sectors. Energy prices may react due to concerns over supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Traders will be closely watching for any developments in U.S.-Iran relations or military movements in the region as catalysts for market volatility.

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.
