Trump Reveals He Delayed Iran Strike Following Gulf States' Plea

Trump stated he called off a military strike on Iran following appeals from Gulf allies, de-escalating tensions after recent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. The shift in tone reduced immediate fears of supply disruption in global oil markets, easing risk premiums priced into crude futures. Energy equities and shipping rates in the Middle East saw downward adjustments, while safe-haven demand for gold and U.S. Treasuries softened slightly. Investors will watch for upcoming U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data on crude inventories and tanker traffic through the Strait, which may signal whether physical flows are stabilizing amid diplomatic developments.

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.
