Trump Urges USTR Greer for More Tariffs Amid Iran Tensions

Former President Trump has urged U.S. Trade Representative Greer to impose additional tariffs, suggesting that prices will significantly decline following a potential conflict with Iran. This statement could influence market sentiment through the channel of inflation repricing, as traders may anticipate heightened costs associated with tariffs and geopolitical tensions. Commodities, particularly oil, are most exposed due to their sensitivity to supply disruptions linked to Middle Eastern conflicts. Traders will be closely watching developments in U.S.-Iran relations and any official announcements regarding tariff adjustments or military actions, as these could significantly impact market dynamics.

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.
