U.S. and Iran Near 60-Day Ceasefire Deal, Oil Sales to Resume

Reports indicate that the U.S. and Iran are nearing an agreement for a 60-day ceasefire extension, which would allow Iran to resume oil sales and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This development could significantly impact oil supply dynamics, as the Strait is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, potentially easing concerns over supply disruptions. Markets most exposed include crude oil futures and energy stocks, particularly those with ties to Middle Eastern operations. Traders will be closely watching for any official announcements or details regarding the terms of the ceasefire and subsequent negotiations, as these could influence oil prices and geopolitical risk sentiment.

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.
