ASX slides as Trump Greenland tariff threat sparks ‘sell America’ trade — gold hits record

ASX slides as Trump Greenland tariff threat sparks ‘sell America’ trade — gold hits record

Australian shares slipped on Wednesday, though the drop was milder than futures had predicted as miners benefited from a record gold price. By 10:30 a.m. AEDT, the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.4% at 8,779. Tech, banks, and industrials lagged, while materials and energy sectors gained ground. Spot gold hovered near $4,762 an ounce, Brent crude around $64 a barrel, and the Australian dollar stayed close to 67.3 U.S. cents. The selloff followed a global slide, with the S&P 500 dropping roughly 2% overnight and Europe’s STOXX 600 down 0.7%, as investors reacted to new trade threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. “The geopolitical risks … are re-emerging and are shifting market perceptions of common alliances across allies in Europe,” said Wasif Latif, chief investment officer at Sarmaya Partners. Strategists are bringing back the term “sell America,” a quick way to describe reducing holdings in U.S. stocks and the dollar amid rising policy risks.

BHP stock edges up as Rio-Glencore merger talks jolt miners; what investors watch next

Sydney, January 9, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — Market closed BHP Group Ltd shares ended Friday higher after Rio Tinto and Glencore said they were in early talks that could reshape the top end of global mining and, on paper, knock BHP off the top spot by market value. The companies said the expectation was an all-share buyout — paid in stock, not cash — and UK takeover rules give Rio until Feb. 5 to make a formal offer or walk away. Reuters
