US to Lift Oil Sanctions on Iran, Reports Say

The U.S. has agreed to lift oil sanctions on Iran, according to a report by Infomoney, marking a potential shift in energy policy and diplomatic relations. This development would increase global crude supply by allowing Iran to resume higher levels of oil exports, directly affecting the supply disruption channel in oil markets. Brent and WTI futures are likely to face downward pressure, while energy equities—particularly those sensitive to oil price volatility—may come under pressure. Iranian crude returning to global markets could also alter trade flows, especially in Asia and Europe, where refiners previously sourced from Iran. Traders will watch for confirmation from official U.S. or Iranian authorities and upcoming EIA and OPEC supply reports for signs of shifting market balances.

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.
