Global Markets Continue Decline Ahead of Trump's Davos Speech

Global stock markets continue to decline for a fourth consecutive day, ahead of President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Falling global bonds and the US threats to acquire Greenland have kept investors on edge. Fears of a 'Sell America' trade, following last year's tariff announcements, have intensified, leading to a drop in Wall Street and the US dollar. As a result, gold prices have surged to a record high. All eyes are now on Trump's speech, which could either calm or escalate tensions with Europe. Indices such as the MSCI All-World and STOXX 600 are recording declines, while the VIX index, which measures volatility, remains at high levels.
