IRAN'S MAJOR GENERAL REZAI: HORMUZ WILL NOT BE REOPENED UNTIL IRAN'S 7 CONDITIONS ARE MET.

Iranian Major General Rezai stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened until Iran's seven conditions are met, according to the headline. The statement implies a continued restriction on transit through a chokepoint that handles a large share of seaborne crude and LNG flows, which transmits directly into supply-risk premiums across oil, tanker freight rates, and war-risk insurance costs. Crude benchmarks and refined products are the most exposed, as a prolonged closure tightens prompt supply and steepens backwardation, while Gulf-linked LNG and Asian energy importers face secondary pressure through higher input costs and wider spot-to-term price spreads. Traders should watch the next OPEC+ production communication and weekly EIA inventory data for signs of how Gulf exporters are rerouting volumes, along with any official clarification of the seven conditions, since specificity or escalation in those demands would shift the market's read on the duration of the disruption.

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.
