U.S. AND IRAN CLOSING IN ON ONE-PAGE MEMO TO END WAR, OFFICIALS SAY- AXIOS THE U.S. EXPECTS IRANIAN RESPONSES ON SEVERAL KEY POINTS IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS - AXIOS

U.S. and Iranian officials are reportedly nearing an agreement to end hostilities, with expectations for Iranian responses on critical points within the next 48 hours. This development could influence risk appetite in global markets, as a resolution may reduce geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Assets most exposed include oil markets, which could see price volatility based on anticipated supply stability, and equities in sectors sensitive to geopolitical risks. Traders will closely watch for the specifics of the Iranian responses, as these could significantly impact market sentiment and trading strategies.

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.
