After months of financial markets paying little attention to Trump’s increasingly erratic global agenda, panic finally bubbled over on Tuesday as Wall Street had its worst day since last April’s Liberation Day turmoil. JPMorgan Asset Management’s Bob Michele said the tumble in markets is a message to the Trump administration to take action to restore calm — as officials did when Liberation Day tariffs rattled investors last year. “Things are a bit chaotic and the markets do feel a bit panicked,” Michele, CIO and global head of fixed income, told Bloomberg. “The market had a fit in April and then they backed off of a lot of things and then calm ensued. We need to hear some of the same kinds of things.” Reinforcing the idea that Trump’s insistence on snatching Greenland from Denmark is a step too far, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a major address in Davos to argue that the world’s middle powers must band together to resist coercion from aggressive superpowers. Recent events have shown the “rules-based international order” is effectively dead, he said. Whether Trump is swayed by such pushback seems in doubt. He expressed confidence that the European Union would continue to invest in the US even if he imposed new tariffs related to his quest to take control of the semi-autonomous territory. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cautioned European nations against ramping up their military presence on Greenland, where the prime minister warned of a possible military invasion . All this means investors are caught in a increasingly tricky position. Continue to buy the dip in the hope that Trump pulls back from the brink, or bet on a worsening, possibly cataclysmic, outcome. Right now, Trump isn’t providing too many clues. Asked how far he was willing to go to secure the island, the US president told reporters: “you’ll find out.” What You Need to Know Today The other big concern in markets right now is the extreme volatility in Japan’s government bond market — trigg...
