**JUST IN:** 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Brent Crude Oil crashes 5% after reports of US and Iran nearing a deal.

Brent crude fell roughly 5% after reports emerged that the United States and Iran were nearing an agreement, according to a Watcher Guru headline. The move reflects a reduction in the geopolitical risk premium that had been embedded in prices, as a deal would raise expectations of additional Iranian barrels reaching global markets and ease concerns about supply disruption in the Middle East. Brent is the most directly exposed benchmark, given its sensitivity to Gulf supply risk and its role as the global reference for seaborne crude, while Iran-linked instruments and regional equities tied to energy and shipping would also be repriced on the headline. Traders will be watching the weekly EIA crude inventory report and any official confirmation from Washington or Tehran, since concrete terms on sanctions relief or export volumes would determine whether the decline extends or reverses.

Crude oil (WTI/Brent) reacts in real time to OPEC+ production decisions, EIA weekly inventory reports, geopolitical supply disruptions (Middle East, Russia, Venezuela) and US Strategic Petroleum Reserve announcements. A 5% intraday move on breaking news is not unusual.

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.
