*TRUMP: IF IRAN DOESN’T AGREE TO DEAL, THE BOMBING STARTS *TRUMP: IF IRAN AGREES, THEN EPIC FURY WILL END, HORMUZ WILL OPEN

Former President Trump stated that military action against Iran would commence if a deal is not reached, while suggesting that an agreement would lead to a cessation of hostilities and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This rhetoric heightens geopolitical tensions, impacting risk appetite among investors and potentially leading to increased volatility in oil markets due to concerns over supply disruptions. The energy sector, particularly crude oil prices, is most exposed as the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Traders will be closely watching for any developments in diplomatic negotiations or military movements in the region that could influence market sentiment.

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.
