Global markets are experiencing increased volatility due to Japan's bond yield surge following tax cut plans and a snap election. Concurrently, President Trump's tariff threats and pursuit of Greenland have amplified market swings. Analysts will discuss the implications for US Treasuries, foreign exchange, and confidence in US assets.
Global markets are suddenly anything but quiet. In Japan, bond yields surged after a snap election and tax-cut plans spooked investors, triggering the biggest selloff in ultra-long debt since the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs. In the US, Trump’s renewed tariff threats and his push for control of Greenland sent volatility soaring across asset classes. Join Bloomberg's Shery Ahn, Derek Wallbank, Ruth Carson and Yoshiaki Nohara for a Live Q&A to unpack what Japan’s bond rout means for US Treasuries, FX, repatriation trades and whether Trump’s actions are weakening confidence in US assets on January 21 at 10 a.m. HKT / 9 p.m. EST.
