Russia will always be victorious, says Putin at scaled-back Victory Day parade Moscow blanketed in heavy security despite last-minute announcement of three-day ceasefire with Ukraine

President Putin declared that Russia will always be victorious during a scaled-back Victory Day parade, which took place under heightened security measures amid a three-day ceasefire announcement with Ukraine. This statement may influence market sentiment through the channel of risk appetite, as traders assess the potential for escalated conflict or a prolonged ceasefire. Russian assets, particularly equities and government bonds, are likely to be most affected due to their sensitivity to geopolitical developments. Additionally, Ukrainian markets may react to the implications of the ceasefire on ongoing negotiations. Traders will be closely watching any developments regarding the ceasefire's adherence and potential peace talks following the holiday period.

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.
