GERMAN CHANCELLOR MERZ SAYS RUSSIA AND ITS ALLIES, FROM NORTH KOREA TO IRAN, ARE ATTACKING NOT ONLY UKRAINE BUT EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVELY THE MOST PRECIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE POST-WORLD WAR II ERA: FUNDAMENTAL VALUES OF HUMAN RIGHTS, DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY AND THE RULE OF LAW

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Russia and its allies, including North Korea and Iran, are attacking Ukraine and, more aggressively, the foundational values of the post-World War II order. The headline is truncated, so the full context of his remarks is unclear. The main transmission channel is geopolitical risk prem

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.
