Trump’s Greenland tariff threat rattles FTSE 100, lifts gold and jolts Japan bonds

European shares edged down Wednesday as worries lingered over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats related to Greenland. By 0810 GMT, the STOXX 600 had fallen 0.1%, with financials, especially banks, leading the losses. London’s FTSE 100 remained flat. Meanwhile, miner Rio Tinto gained after surpassing full-year iron ore shipment forecasts. The FTSE 100 slid 0.72% Tuesday, hit by Trump’s threat to impose a 10% tariff on imports from eight European countries including Britain, starting Feb. 1—unless the U.S. can buy Greenland. Laura Cooper, strategist at Nuveen, said, “Geopolitical tensions have dented sentiment and cooled early-year exuberance.” AstraZeneca shares dropped after it announced plans to delist its American Depositary Shares and debt securities from Nasdaq.
