Global markets brace for volatility after US tariff threat to Europe
Global markets reacted to planned U.S. tariffs on European nations, prompting volatility and increased demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and sovereign debt.
Global financial markets confronted renewed volatility on January 18 after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on eight European countries unless a Greenland deal is approved.

Safe-haven assets such as gold and sovereign debt saw increased demand as risk sentiment shifted.
