Tasnim Agency quoting the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman: We have never left the negotiations and we exchange messages with America through intermediaries.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, as relayed by the Tasnim news agency, said Tehran has not exited negotiations and continues to exchange messages with the United States through intermediaries. The statement signals that diplomatic channels remain open, which typically compresses the geopolitical risk premium priced into oil and Gulf-linked assets, since a functioning backchannel lowers the probability of supply disruption or escalation in the Strait of Hormuz. For Iran-exposed instruments, the transmission runs mainly through risk sentiment and expectations for sanctions relief, with Iranian sovereign debt, regional equities, and crude-sensitive currencies most sensitive to shifts in perceived deal probability. Traders should watch for any official confirmation or denial from Washington and subsequent movements in Brent crude and the Iranian rial's parallel-market rate, as these will indicate whether the market interprets the intermediary contacts as substantive progress or as routine signaling.

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.
