Trump announces three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine with prisoner swap

Former President Trump announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, accompanied by a prisoner swap, which could signal a potential thaw in hostilities. This development may influence market sentiment through improved risk appetite, as investors reassess geopolitical risks associated with the ongoing conflict. Assets closely tied to the region, such as Russian equities and Ukrainian bonds, may experience increased volatility as traders react to the ceasefire's implications for stability and economic recovery. Market participants will be particularly attentive to any follow-up negotiations or agreements that could emerge from this ceasefire, which could further impact capital flows and investment strategies in Eastern Europe.

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.
