OIL ERASES LOSS AFTER TRUMP SAYS US DOESN'T NEED DEAL WITH IRAN.

Oil prices reversed earlier losses after former President Donald Trump stated that the United States does not need a deal with Iran, a remark that reduced expectations of near-term sanctions relief or a negotiated easing of tensions in the Gulf. The transmission mechanism runs through the geopolitical risk premium: a lower probability of a diplomatic settlement implies a higher probability of continued sanctions on Iranian crude exports, which tightens effective supply and supports Brent and WTI futures. Crude-sensitive equities such as integrated energy producers and oilfield services are most directly exposed, while Asian importers with heavy Gulf crude dependence face higher input costs and wider current-account pressure. Currency and rates desks may also note the inflation implications, since sustained crude strength feeds into headline inflation expectations. Traders should watch the next weekly EIA inventory report and any official Treasury or State Department commentary on sanctions enforcement, as either could confirm or reverse the supply-risk repricing.

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.
