The recent geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Trump and Greenland, have led to a sell-off in U.S. stocks, bonds, and the dollar. The S&P 500 dropped 2.1%, while safe-haven assets like gold and the Swiss franc gained. HSBC's strategists believe such geopolitical risks often present buying opportunities, citing historical trends where markets recover post-crisis. They expect a similar pattern this time, despite warnings about U.S. rates nearing a "danger zone." Overall, they maintain a positive outlook on U.S. economic conditions and fourth-quarter earnings.

- HSBC's strategists believe that geopolitical risks, such as recent tariff threats, typically provide buying opportunities, despite current market declines in various asset classes.  
- Chief multi-strategist Max Kettner highlights that past crises have seen markets recover, suggesting a similar outcome will occur this time.  
- He notes that economic conditions in the U.S. remain stable, which should support market resilience and prevent significant prolonged downturns.

Trump, Greenland and the mounting fear of war: How the stock market reacts to big geopolitical events.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged global markets to remain calm ahead of President Trump's address at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His comments come amid rising trade war fears and significant market declines, with the S&P 500 dropping 2.1% and the dollar index hitting a two-week low. Bessent's plea reflects concerns over potential European retaliation and the impact on US assets, as investors show skepticism towards the administration's messaging. Trump is expected to deliver a more combative message at Davos.

- US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged global markets to remain calm ahead of President Trump's World Economic Forum address amid escalating trade tensions, especially regarding tariffs on eight European countries.  
- Despite Bessent's reassurances, fears of a financial panic persist as markets respond negatively, evidenced by declines in the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq, alongside rising Treasury yields.  
- The potential for European retaliation, including tariffs on US goods, raises concerns about the stability of American borrowing costs and highlights the critical role of foreign investments in US assets.

Morning Bid: Markets cling to hopes of a Davos de-escalation

UBS President Sergio Ermotti warned that using U.S. Treasury bonds as leverage in the Greenland issue is a dangerous gamble that could backfire, as the U.S. is the world's strongest economy, making it nearly impossible to break free from dependence on it

Danish pension fund plans to liquidate US bonds, UBS: may backfire

Foreign investors hold significant U.S. assets, raising concerns about potential retaliation against U.S. policies. Recent tensions, particularly regarding tariffs, have led to speculation about a possible 'weaponization' of U.S. stocks and bonds. Currently, foreign ownership of U.S. stocks is about 18% of the total market, while Treasurys stand at 34%. A selloff in Japanese bonds has prompted discussions on the risks of U.S. debt and market reactions. U.S. stocks fell sharply, with the S&P 500 down over 2%, while Treasury yields rose and the dollar weakened.

- Foreign investors' ownership of U.S. assets, particularly Treasurys and stocks, is significant, with 30% of Treasurys and 63% of stocks relative to GDP.  
- President Trump's actions regarding Greenland have raised concerns about potential retaliatory dumping of U.S. assets by foreign investors, although a buyers' strike seems unlikely for now.  
- Recent market volatility was highlighted by falling U.S. stocks and rising Treasury yields, amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
