There was a relief rally in the US markets overnight after Donald Trump moderated his rhetoric against the EU over Greenland and withdrew his tariffs threat, at least for the February deadline originally in place. He also ruled out taking Greenland by force. That said, he still wants it under American ownership. Both the Nasdaq and S&P500 rose over 1%. It was a broad based rally with every sector up except a tiny drop in utilities. The big chip stocks rallied strongly while the bounce in ...

It was a difficult night for US stocks with the SP500 down 2% and the Nasdaq down 2.4%. The VIX index hit 20, a 26% rise and gold topped US$4700. President Trump’s aggressive stance against the EU over Greenland plus weakness in Japanese bonds are pressuring the market. Reuters quotes the President as saying, “There is no going back”, when it comes to US control of Greenland. He’s also using the threat of tariffs to bend the EU to his will. They will go into effect on February 1 under the cur...
