Gold price today: Bullion slips from record highs as dollar firms and U.S. inflation data looms

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket Gold prices pulled back on Thursday after climbing to record highs over three sessions, as easing tensions around Greenland pushed investors toward riskier bets and the dollar found some footing. Spot gold slipped 0.3% to $4,824.18 an ounce by 1017 GMT, dipping nearly 1% earlier in the session. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures for February edged down 0.2% to $4,826. ActivTrades’ Ricardo Evangelista pointed to a “return of risk appetite” denting demand for the safe haven. Still, Henrik Marx of Heraeus Precious Metals sees the bigger picture as bullish, suggesting $5,000 to $5,200 could be within reach soon.

Hang Seng wobbles, then closes higher as Hong Kong inflation ticks up and Trump cools tariff talk

Hong Kong stocks ended slightly higher on Thursday after a choppy session, with the Hang Seng Index adding 44 points to close at 26,629. The benchmark opened up 165 points, slipped briefly into the red and recovered into the close, with turnover — the value of shares traded — at HK$234.86 billion. Baidu climbed 4% to a record high and Pop Mart jumped 6%, while China Life fell nearly 4% and Ping An lost more than 2%.

On Wednesday, the Dow rose 1.21%, the Nasdaq added 1.18% and the S&P 500 climbed 1.16%, a Nasdaq/RTTNews report said.

FTSE 100 today: Trump drops Greenland tariff threat, but UK inflation muddies BoE cuts

FTSE 100 today: Trump drops Greenland tariff threat, but UK inflation muddies BoE cuts

European shares bounced back in early trade Thursday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to drop tariff threats over Greenland and dismiss the idea of using force to take the Danish territory. By 0802 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 had climbed 1%. After a tough run for risk assets, markets found some relief. The FTSE 100 in London dropped 0.72% Tuesday following President Trump’s threat to slap an extra 10% tariff on imports from eight European nations, Britain included, starting Feb. 1—unless the U.S. gets the green light to buy Greenland. “Geopolitical tensions have dented sentiment,” noted Laura Cooper, senior macro strategist at Nuveen.

Trump’s Greenland tariff threat hits TSX as Canadian stocks slide and inflation keeps BoC in focus

Trump’s Greenland tariff threat hits TSX as Canadian stocks slide and inflation keeps BoC in focus

Canada’s main stock index dropped on Tuesday, posting its biggest decline in two months as investors digested fresh U.S. tariff threats tied to Greenland and jitters in Japan’s bond market. The S&P/TSX Composite ended down 340.68 points, or 1%, at 32,750.28, led by a near 4% slide in technology shares. The move mattered because it hit after a strong start to the week that had pushed the benchmark to a record close, helped by metal miners riding a rush into gold. “With markets at near all-time highs, it's not surprising to see volatility from time to time when risks emerge,” said Josh Sheluk, a portfolio manager at Verecan Capital Management.

Canadian dollar hits six-day high as Trump tariff threats and inflation data jolt USD/CAD

Canadian dollar hits six-day high as Trump tariff threats and inflation data jolt USD/CAD

Canada’s dollar hit a six-day peak Monday, gaining 0.4% to trade at C$1.3865 per U.S. dollar. The greenback weakened following President Donald Trump’s fresh tariff threats targeting Europe over Greenland. Oil prices nudged up 0.2% to $59.57 a barrel. Canadian bond yields were mixed: the two-year yield slipped 1.1 basis points to 2.538%. “I think the headline is what matters right now,” said Adam Button, chief currency analyst at investingLive. Canada’s December inflation came in at 2.4% year-over-year, edging past the 2.2% forecast, even as prices slipped 0.2% month-over-month. The Bank of Canada’s core inflation gauges cooled for a third month running, with CPI-median easing to 2.5% and CPI-trim down to 2.7%. These measures, designed to smooth out erratic price moves, suggest the central bank can hold steady on rates. “Today’s data are still consistent with underlying inflation being close to 2%,” noted CIBC Capital Markets economist Andrew Grantham. Fitch Ratings’ Jessica Hinds added it’s “highly unlikely to change the calculus” for the BoC.

Constellation Software resets CSU.DB debenture rate to 8.6% as CPI-linked coupon steps down

Constellation Software resets CSU.DB debenture rate to 8.6% as CPI-linked coupon steps down

Constellation Software Inc said the interest rate on its unsecured subordinated floating rate debentures, Series 1, will be reset to 8.6% per year on March 31, trimming the coupon from the current 8.9%. The company said the new rate is based on the annual average change in Canada’s all-items Consumer Price Index over the 12 months ending Dec. 31, 2025, plus 6.5%. The reset matters for holders of CSU.DB because the coupon is built to move with inflation, not with overnight interest rates. It also sets the company’s interest bill for another year, a line item investors watch closely when funding costs shift.

  • Paying Off Debt May Come Before 401(k) Max-Out, Say Advisors
    July 2, 2026, 5:03 PM EDT. Financial advisors say maxing your 401(k) isn't always the right move if you're carrying high-interest credit card balances or similar debt. They recommend getting the employer match, but say putting extra cash toward debt and an emergency fund first can leave you better off in the short run and save on interest. Letting debt pile up while focusing only on retirement contributions can strain your finances and knock long-term plans off course.
