Trump says Russia and Ukraine to observe three-day ceasefire

Former President Trump announced a proposed three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, which could signal a potential easing of hostilities in the region. This development may influence risk appetite among investors, as a reduction in conflict could lead to improved economic stability and capital flows into affected markets. Assets most exposed include Russian and Ukrainian equities, which could see increased volatility based on geopolitical sentiment. Traders will be particularly attentive to any subsequent negotiations or statements from both governments that could either reinforce or undermine the ceasefire agreement.

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.
