Erdoğan: We received a promise from Trump regarding F-35 fighter jets and we await his fulfillment of it

Turkish President Erdoğan stated he received a promise from former US President Trump regarding the F-35 fighter jet program and expects its fulfillment. This development could signal a potential shift in US-Turkey relations, particularly concerning defense cooperation and sanctions previously imposed under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) for Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 missile systems. The market transmission mechanism would primarily be through risk appetite and capital flows, as improved diplomatic ties could reduce geopolitical risk premiums associated with Turkish assets. Turkish equities (BIST 100) and the Turkish Lira (TRY) are most exposed, as reduced political uncertainty could attract foreign investment and alleviate pressure on the currency. Traders will closely monitor any official statements from the US government or further details emerging from Turkish officials regarding the nature and timeline of this alleged promise.

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.
