Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy Confirms Three-Day Ceasefire Announced by Trump

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has confirmed a three-day ceasefire that was announced by former President Trump, signaling a potential de-escalation in hostilities in the region. This development could influence risk appetite among investors, as reduced conflict may lead to improved stability and economic recovery prospects in Ukraine. Assets most exposed include Ukrainian equities and bonds, which could see increased capital inflows if investor sentiment turns positive. Traders will be particularly attentive to any subsequent negotiations or statements from both Ukrainian and Russian officials that could impact the longevity of the ceasefire.

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.
