S&P 500 Futures 6,874.25 -1.47% Japan 30-Year Bond Yield 3.849% +0.266 US 10-Year Treasury Yield 4.293% +0.070 Stoxx Europe 600 Index 599.15 -1.30% Bitcoin 91,244.04 -1.83% Market data as of 06:37 am EST. Market data may be delayed depending on provider agreements. Five things you need to know Stocks extended their selloff as the standoff between the US and Europe over Greenland showed no sign of de-escalation, while selling in Japanese debt rippled through global bond markets . Gold set a fresh record above $4,700 an ounce. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged calm in the transatlantic rift over Donald Trump’s ambitions to take over Greenland and dismissed suggestions that Europe would forcefully retaliate by dumping US financial assets . Trump, meanwhile, unleashed fresh social media attacks against European allies and threatened crushing tariffs on French wine, underlining the stakes for high-level meetings planned in Davos. The stock pullback might be catching investors off guard. Fund managers were the most bullish since July 2021 while protection against a correction had tumbled to an eight-year low, a Bank of America survey found. German investor optimism surged to its highest level since mid-2021 as a government spending push government helps pull the struggling manufacturing sector out of a malaise. Why Japanese debt matters Fixed-income investors already dealing with a revived trade war now have to contend with a meltdown in Japan’s bond market that’s pushing global yields higher. The trigger for today’s selloff in Japanese debt was Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election pitch to cut taxes on food, without saying how she would pay for it. That’s just part of her broader stimulus plan, which bond investors see as inflationary . Longer term, the surge in Japanese yields over the past few years reflects an end to the Lost Decades of deflation and economic stagnation that followed the bursting of the country’s 1980s property bubble. To that extent, it’s...

Scott Bessent, US treasury secretary, during an Economic Club of Minnesota event in Golden Valley, Minnesota, US, on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026. Ben Brewer | Bloomberg | Getty Images President Donald Trump is showing the world "the U.S. is back," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC, as tensions rise over the president's bid to acquire Greenland . Asked about the president's agenda at the World Economic Forum in Davos , Switzerland, where Trump is set to make an address on Wednesday, Bessent said: "The U.S. is back, and this is what U.S. leadership looks like." Tensions are high at the meeting after Trump raised the stakes on his intention to acquire the self-governing Danish territory, which has rattled the NATO military alliance . Overnight, he announced 200% tariffs on French wines and Champagne, and said the U.K. was showing "total weakness" by handing sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Meanwhile, Denmark sent more troops to Greenland for a military exercise. Bessent said U.S. control of Greenland was "important," adding: "That will stop any kind of a kinetic war, so why not pre-empt the problem before it starts?" Bessent told CNBC that European countries should contribute their "fair share" towards defense. "While the Europeans have been building schools, having healthcare, we have been defending the world," he said. Trump has repeatedly said taking control of Greenland is vital for U.S. national security, frequently citing concerns about Russia and China's Arctic influence. Bessent said he held a meeting with the G7 as well as Mexico, India, South Korea and Australia last week to "avoid this chokehold that China has on minerals." — CNBC's Sam Meredith contributed to this report. — This is breaking news.
