US and Iran Make Progress on War Deal in Washington

The U.S. and Iran have reported progress in negotiations aimed at ending hostilities, indicating a potential shift in geopolitical dynamics. This development could influence risk appetite among investors, particularly in the Middle East, as improved relations may lead to reduced tensions and increased stability in the region. Assets most exposed include oil markets, as any resolution could alleviate supply concerns and impact pricing. Traders will be closely watching for further announcements or formal agreements that could solidify this progress, particularly any statements from U.S. or Iranian officials regarding the terms of a potential deal.

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.
