IRAN'S MAJOR GENERAL REZAI: THE AMERICAN RESPONSE IS DECEPTIVE - FARS NEWS

Iran's Major General Rezai, as reported by Fars News, characterized the American response as deceptive, though the headline provides no detail on the specific policy, statement, or action being criticized. The headline itself does not identify a concrete trade, sanctions, military, or diplomatic measure, so the direct transmission mechanism to prices cannot be confirmed from this text alone. Rhetorical escalation between Tehran and Washington typically transmits to markets through geopolitical risk premia, which can lift crude oil and safe-haven demand for gold and the U.S. dollar, while Iran-linked equities and the rial are the most directly exposed instruments. Traders should watch for any follow-up official U.S. statement or Iranian action, as well as weekly inventory data from the EIA, to determine whether this rhetoric translates into a tangible supply or sanctions shift.

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.
