Trump Refutes Xi's Claim on Putin's Regret Over Ukraine War

Former President Donald Trump denied claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping informed him that Russian President Vladimir Putin would regret the ongoing war in Ukraine. This statement could influence geopolitical risk perceptions, particularly regarding U.S.-China relations and their implications for global stability. Markets sensitive to geopolitical tensions, such as Russian equities and commodities linked to Ukraine, may experience volatility as traders reassess risk appetite in light of these developments. The upcoming G20 summit, where leaders may address the Ukraine conflict and international relations, will be a key event for traders to gauge potential shifts in diplomatic stances.

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.
