TRUMP: WE WILL NOT ATTACK IRAN TODAY.

President Trump stated publicly that the United States will not attack Iran today, a remark that de-escalates near-term military risk but leaves the broader geopolitical situation unresolved. The primary market transmission channel is geopolitical risk premium: markets had been pricing some probability of kinetic conflict in the Gulf, and a explicit denial of imminent strikes tends to compress that premium through lower safe-haven demand. Assets most sensitive to this shift include crude oil and oil-linked equities, since any actual Iran conflict threatens Strait of Hormuz shipping and Gulf supply, as well as gold and the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, which typically draw flows during escalation. Traders should watch whether the statement is followed by confirming diplomatic signals or by contradictory military movements, as the headline's "today" qualifier implies the stance is time-bound rather than a durable policy commitment.

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.
