US, Iran Extend Ceasefire Deal; Trump Still Needs to Sign Off

The reported extension of the ceasefire between the US and Iran suggests a potential easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This development may influence risk appetite among investors, as reduced conflict risks could lead to increased capital flows into emerging markets and energy assets. Markets most exposed include oil, given Iran's significant role in global supply, and equities in sectors sensitive to geopolitical stability. Traders will be particularly attentive to any further statements from former President Trump regarding his approval of the ceasefire, as his stance could impact market sentiment and volatility.

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.
