Trump Ready for an 'Interesting Davos', Japanese Bond Meltdown | The Opening Trade 1/20/2026

President Donald Trump said he will meet with several parties over his ambition to take control of Greenland during the upcoming World Economic Forum. The US leader also unleashed fresh social media attacks against European allies and threatened crushing tariffs on French wine, underlining the stakes for this week's meetings. Also, the slump in Japanese bonds deepened, sending yields soaring to records as investors gave a thumbs down to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election pitch to cut taxes on food.
