US PRESIDENT TRUMP: NOT EXPECTING IRAN TO SAY 'LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS'

US President Trump said he does not expect Iran to say "let's get down to business," signaling skepticism that Tehran is prepared to begin substantive negotiations. The remark points to a stalled diplomatic track, which typically transmits to markets through the geopolitical risk premium, lifting demand for safe-haven assets such as gold, the US dollar, and Treasuries while pressuring risk appetite. Oil is the most directly exposed market, since any perceived deterioration in US-Iran relations raises the probability of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian export flows, feeding into crude price volatility and energy-sector equities. Regional currencies and Gulf sovereign debt may also reprice as traders reassess the likelihood of escalation. Traders should watch the next official statements from Tehran and any scheduled diplomatic contacts, along with weekly EIA crude inventory data, for confirmation of whether the rhetoric translates into a tangible shift in supply expectations.

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.
