TRUMP ON IRAN: IF IRAN AGREES, EPIC FURY WILL BE AT AN END, AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BLOCKADE WILL ALLOW HORMUZ STRAIT TO BE OPEN TO ALL, INCLUDING IRAN.

Former President Donald Trump stated that if Iran agrees to certain conditions, tensions could ease significantly, potentially reopening the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping, including Iranian vessels. This statement could influence market sentiment through a shift in risk appetite, as reduced geopolitical tensions may lead to increased confidence in oil supply stability. Oil markets are particularly exposed, given that the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, accounting for a significant portion of the world's crude oil transport. Traders will be closely watching any developments in diplomatic negotiations or official responses from Iran, as these could serve as catalysts for market movements in energy and related sectors.

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.
