TRUMP SAYS 'NO' TO STRIKING IRAN AFTER ELECTIONS - POOL REPORT.

Per a pool report, former President Donald Trump has ruled out striking Iran after the elections, a statement that removes a specific near-term military escalation scenario from the geopolitical calendar. The transmission channel runs through risk premia in energy and defense-linked assets: markets that had priced some probability of U.S.-Iran conflict, including crude oil, where Middle East supply disruption is the primary upside risk, tend to reprice lower when that tail risk recedes. Crude futures and tanker-exposed equities are the most directly exposed, while safe-haven flows into gold and U.S. Treasuries may ease as geopolitical risk premia compress. Traders should watch the next OPEC+ production decision and weekly EIA inventory data for confirmation of whether oil's risk premium is actually unwinding.

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.
