U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY CHRIS WRIGHT, ASKED WHY THE DEAL WAS MADE BEFORE RUSSIA AGREED TO TONE DOWN OR END THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE, SAYS ‘WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO DO IS FIND WHAT DIFFERENT WAY WILL LEAD TO PEACE’, CALLING IT ‘QUITE INNOVATIVE’.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended the timing of an unspecified deal, saying President Trump is seeking an alternative path to peace, even though Russia has not agreed to de-escalate or end its war against Ukraine.

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.
