IRAN’S PRESIDENT PEZESHKIAN SAYS IRAN HAS NEVER SOUGHT WAR AND HAS NO INTENTION OF INITIATING ONE, BUT WILL NEVER YIELD TO FORCE OR BULLYING - PRESS TV

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran has never sought war and has no intention of initiating one, while simultaneously pledging that the country will not yield to force or coercion, according to Press TV. The remarks are a rhetorical signal that fits a dual posture of de-escalation messaging paired with deterrence, a combination that markets typically price through geopolitical risk premia rather than through any direct change in fundamentals. The transmission channel here is risk appetite: headlines referencing possible conflict in the Gulf tend to lift crude oil through a supply-risk premium, push investors toward safe-haven assets such as gold, U.S. Treasuries, and the Swiss franc, and weigh on regional equities and the Iranian rial. Because the statement explicitly disavows initiating hostilities, the immediate repricing may be limited unless accompanied by concrete military or shipping developments. Traders should watch Brent and WTI crude futures for signs of sustained premium, and monitor Strait of Hormuz tanker transit data and any statements from U.S. or Israeli officials for confirmation or escalation.

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.
