Iran Continues Indirect Talks with US via Pakistan, Says Kani

Iran's deputy secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Bagheri Kani, stated that indirect negotiations with the United States, facilitated through Pakistan, are ongoing. This development may influence geopolitical risk appetite, particularly in the Middle East, as uncertainty surrounding the talks could affect regional stability and energy markets. Assets most exposed include Iranian oil exports and Pakistani financial markets, which may react to shifts in diplomatic relations and potential sanctions relief. Traders will be particularly attentive to any upcoming statements or outcomes from these discussions that could signal a breakthrough or setback in the negotiations.

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.
