Iran Reinstates Partial Internet Access After Extended Blackout

Iran has partially restored internet access following an extended blackout that lasted several months, which was implemented amid civil unrest and government crackdowns. This restoration may influence risk appetite among investors, as improved communication could facilitate economic activities and reduce uncertainty surrounding the Iranian market. The Iranian rial and local equities are particularly exposed, as enhanced connectivity may lead to increased foreign interest and capital flows into the country. Traders will be watching for any further developments in internet access and government responses, particularly during the upcoming parliamentary sessions that could signal shifts in policy.

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.
