Market Brief – 21 Jan 2026

In today’s episode of Market Brief – After Hours, markets staged a sharp relief rally after President Trump abruptly abandoned tariff threats against Europe tied to the Greenland dispute, triggering a rebound in US equities and easing fears of a “sell America” trade. We break down strong gains in the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq led by technology stocks, assess Europe’s muted response amid rising UK inflation, and review mixed trading across Asia with weakness in Japan but resilience in South Korea’s semiconductor exports. The episode also covers falling Treasury yields as geopolitical stress faded, oil and natural gas moving higher on supply disruptions, detailed FX technical levels in EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, and AUD/USD, gold pushing to fresh record highs, silver correcting from recent extremes, and key stock movers including Lucid Group, Teledyne Technologies, EQT, Kraft Heinz, and Berkshire Hathaway’s filing.
