IRAN'S KHAMENEI AND REZAEE DISCUSS UNITY, HORMUZ MANAGEMENT

The headline reports that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Mohsen Rezaee, a senior Iranian official, held discussions covering national unity and the management of the Strait of Hormuz, though the headline itself does not specify the substance or outcomes of those talks. The primary market transmission channel is supply-disruption risk: the Strait of Hormuz carries a substantial share of seaborne global crude and LNG flows, so any signal about how Tehran intends to manage passage through the waterway raises the perceived probability of shipping interference and feeds into a geopolitical risk premium in oil.

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.
