Global stock markets saw a positive turnaround on Wednesday, following President Donald Trump's announcement of a framework agreement concerning Greenland. The news, revealed at the World Economic Forum in Davos, led to the U.S. canceling scheduled tariffs, easing investor jitters caused by earlier geopolitical tensions.

Wall Street reacted positively, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posting gains. According to Mark Hackett of Nationwide in Boston, the market welcomed Trump's assurance against using force in Greenland, reflecting the uncertainty linked to his unique negotiation tactics compared to previous administrations.

The European Parliament has temporarily halted its trade negotiations with the U.S., citing Trump's Greenland demands. This has cast a shadow over the U.S.-EU alliance, but investors remain focused on market resilience amid evolving global dynamics and financial policy shifts.
