ZELENSKIY SAYS 11 PEOPLE (NOT 9) WERE KILLED IN RUSSIAN ATTACKS ON UKRAINE (CORRECTION)

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy corrected previous reports, stating that 11 individuals were killed in recent Russian attacks, not 9. This marginal increase in reported casualties, while tragic, is unlikely to significantly alter the market's existing perception of geopolitical risk surrounding the conflict. The primary market transmission mechanism remains risk aversion and capital flows, with investors continuing to price in the ongoing conflict's duration and potential for escalation. Assets most exposed are Russian equities and sovereign bonds due to sanctions and economic isolation, and Ukrainian assets which face direct conflict impact. Traders will monitor further developments in the conflict, particularly any indications of a shift in military strategy or diplomatic efforts, as well as the impact of sanctions on Russian energy exports.

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.
