Iran Guards Official Sees 'Low' Chance of US Conflict

An Iranian Guards official stated that the likelihood of renewed conflict with the United States is "low," which may ease geopolitical tensions in the region. This perception could influence risk appetite among investors, potentially leading to a stabilization of oil prices and a reduction in risk premiums associated with Middle Eastern assets. Markets most exposed include oil futures and equities tied to energy companies, as any escalation in conflict typically disrupts supply chains and elevates prices. Traders will be particularly attentive to upcoming diplomatic engagements or military movements that could signal shifts in the current stance of either nation.

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.
