US to Pause Guiding Ships While Seeking Iran Deal: Trump

The U.S. government has announced a pause in guiding ships in the Strait of Hormuz as negotiations for a potential deal with Iran progress, according to former President Trump. This development could affect oil supply routes, impacting global oil prices through the channel of supply disruption. The markets most exposed include crude oil and shipping stocks, as any uncertainty in shipping operations in this critical region can lead to volatility in energy prices. Traders will be particularly attentive to any official announcements regarding the status of negotiations with Iran, as these could significantly influence market sentiment and risk appetite.

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.
