Asian stocks extended their losses for a third straight session as geopolitical tensions intensified following U.S. threats regarding the acquisition of Greenland. Investors remain on edge as President Donald Trump is set to address the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The 'Sell America' trend continues to impact the markets, leading to a notable drop in Wall Street indices and a significant retreat of the U.S. dollar. This has driven investors to seek safety in precious metals, with gold and silver reaching new highs.

Meanwhile, a global bond selloff appears to pause, but future uncertainties loom large. The European Union is preparing for an emergency summit as relations with the U.S. strain further. Markets brace for more fluctuations as Trump's rhetoric and global trade tensions persist.
