Trump to Confer with Gulf Leaders on Iran at 1 PM ET

Former President Trump is scheduled to hold a conference call with Gulf leaders to discuss the ongoing situation with Iran. This development may influence geopolitical risk perceptions, particularly regarding U.S.-Iran relations, which can affect oil prices and regional stability. The oil market is particularly exposed due to potential supply disruptions stemming from heightened tensions in the Middle East. Traders will be attentive to any statements or outcomes from the call that could signal shifts in U.S. foreign policy or military posture, especially ahead of the upcoming OPEC meeting.

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.
