IRAN'S QALIBAF TO AL JAZEERA: IRAN HAS NO DESIRE FOR THE WAR TO CONTINUE, ITS PRIORITY IS PEACE BUT ITS DEMANDS SHOULD BE MET

Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf told Al Jazeera that Tehran does not want the conflict to continue and prioritizes peace, while conditioning any settlement on its demands being met. The headline signals a potential de-escalation channel, which in energy markets typically transmits through lower geopolitical risk premia on crude oil, where a reduced probability of supply disruption in the Gulf can compress prices. Oil-sensitive equities, particularly airlines, shipping, and importers reliant on Middle Eastern crude, would be the most directly exposed, while defense and safe-haven assets such as gold and Treasuries could see marginal outflows if peace expectations firm. Traders should watch Brent crude's reaction in the next session and any official response from Washington or Gulf states, since the conditional nature of Iran's demands leaves the durability of any de-escalation uncertain.

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.
