PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ENVOYS JARED KUSHNER AND STEVE WITKOFF WILL MEET WITH RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IN MOSCOW ON THURSDAY- AXIOS

Axios reports that President Trump's envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, are scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday. Diplomatic channels of this kind typically move markets through risk sentiment rather than direct cash flows, since a perceived thaw in US-Russia relations can compress the geopolitical risk premium embedded in energy, defense, and Eastern European assets. Russian sovereign debt, the ruble, and Russian energy equities are the most directly exposed, with oil and gas prices sensitive to any signal about sanctions relief or easing of export restrictions. European energy and defense names may also reprice on expectations of a shift in the Ukraine conflict trajectory. Traders should watch the Thursday readout for explicit language on sanctions, which would be the most material catalyst for capital flows into Russian assets and for Brent crude positioning.

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.
