US, Iran Near 60-Day Ceasefire Extension, Say Mediators

Mediators have reported that the United States and Iran are nearing an agreement to extend their ceasefire by an additional 60 days. This development may influence geopolitical risk appetite, potentially leading to a stabilization of oil prices and reduced volatility in energy markets. Assets most exposed include Iranian oil exports and regional equities, as a prolonged ceasefire could ease supply disruptions and foster a more favorable trading environment. Traders will be particularly attentive to any official announcements or negotiations regarding the terms of the ceasefire, as these could impact market sentiment and capital flows in the region.

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.
