ASX:SYR News 20 January 2026

January 21, 2026, 1:50 PM EST. Wall Street steadied on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said he would not use force to take Greenland, easing recent market fears. The S&P 500 gained 0.3%, recovering from a 2.1% drop amid earlier tariff tensions. The Dow rose 188 points, or 0.4%, while the Nasdaq was mostly unchanged. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar stabilized following recent volatility linked to inflation and global debt concerns. However, gold prices continued to rise, reflecting underlying market caution. Halliburton and United Airlines reported strong quarterly profits, bolstering the market, but gains were offset by a 4.6% decline in Netflix shares due to worries over slowing subscriber growth and a weak profit forecast. Trump's history of aggressive rhetoric followed by softer outcomes remains a key market influence.
