2026 01/19 - 01/23. Wall Street volatility sparks safe-haven surge amid tariff threats; Strong GDP growth and major tech earnings season on horizon
from Wall Street Weekly
This week’s Wall Street Week highlights extreme market volatility prompted by aggressive tariff threats concerning Greenland, resulting in a significant sell-off and a notable rise in safe-haven assets like gold and silver, which hit historic highs as investors sought to mitigate global uncertainty.Despite these geopolitical tensions, strong domestic economic indicators, including a robust 4.3% GDP growth rate, coincide with the kickoff of tech earnings season. Investors are bracing for a "triple threat" this week, with a Federal Reserve interest rate decision, earnings reports from the "Magnificent Seven," and key macro data releases such as Durable Goods Orders and Consumer Confidence on the agenda.|-----|* S&P.* 01/19 M.
