Russia and Ukraine agree to three-day ceasefire, Trump says

Russia and Ukraine have reportedly agreed to a three-day ceasefire, as stated by former President Donald Trump. This development could influence market sentiment through improved risk appetite, potentially leading to a reduction in geopolitical risk premiums associated with the ongoing conflict. Assets most exposed include Russian equities and Ukrainian bonds, which may see increased volatility depending on the ceasefire's adherence and any subsequent negotiations. Traders will be particularly attentive to any official announcements or actions from both governments that could signal the ceasefire's effectiveness or potential extensions.

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.
