IRAN DEAL CLOSE: WAR PAUSE & NUCLEAR TALKS The White House is nearing a one-page MOU with Iran to halt fighting and start nuclear talks. Iran is expected to respond within 48 hours; no deal is final.

The White House is reportedly close to finalizing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran aimed at pausing hostilities and initiating nuclear negotiations, with a response from Iran anticipated within 48 hours. This development could influence risk appetite in global markets, particularly affecting assets tied to geopolitical stability and energy prices. Markets most exposed include oil and gas sectors, as any reduction in conflict may alleviate supply concerns and stabilize prices. Traders will be particularly focused on Iran's forthcoming response, which could either solidify or undermine the potential for a diplomatic resolution.

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.
