US Secures 60-Day Ceasefire with Iran, Awaiting Trump’s Nod

US negotiators have reportedly reached a 60-day ceasefire deal with Iran, contingent upon approval from former President Trump. This development could influence geopolitical risk appetite, potentially stabilizing oil prices and reducing volatility in energy markets. The Iranian economy and regional equities may experience a positive response, as reduced tensions could lead to improved trade relations. Traders will be particularly focused on Trump's upcoming decision, which will serve as a critical catalyst for market sentiment and risk assessment in the region.

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.
