  • Stocks Plunge Amid Greenland Crisis and Rising Bond Yields
    January 20, 2026, 6:52 PM EST. Stocks dropped sharply on Tuesday as the S&P 500 fell 2.06%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 1.76%, and the Nasdaq 100 lost 2.12%, hitting recent lows. The selloff was driven by escalating geopolitical tensions over Greenland, where U.S. President Trump's push to acquire the territory raised fears of trade conflicts with Europe. Trump also threatened tariffs on French champagne, intensifying worries. Rising bond yields pressured equities further, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbing to a 4.75-month high of 4.31%, and Japan's 10-year bond yield reaching a 27-year peak amid fiscal concerns. Meanwhile, precious metals stocks rallied on safe-haven demand, while natural gas producers surged amid a 26% price jump. Market attention turns to upcoming economic data and tariff developments.
