Zelenskiy: Russia Readies Oreshnik Missile Strike on Ukraine

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy reported that Russia is preparing to launch a strike against Ukraine using the "Oreshnik" missile, based on intelligence from Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe. This escalation heightens geopolitical tensions, potentially impacting risk appetite among investors and leading to increased volatility in European markets. Assets most exposed include European equities and the euro, as heightened conflict could disrupt economic stability in the region. Traders will be particularly focused on any developments from NATO or EU meetings, which may address military support for Ukraine or sanctions against Russia.

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.
