Stock futures traded near the flatline Tuesday night after major averages saw their worst day in three months.<\/p>\n
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> advanced 61 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures<\/a> added about 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> were marginally higher.<\/p>\n U.S. equities posted sharp losses in the regular session as President Donald Trump escalated his Greenland tariff threats ahead of his scheduled appearance in Davos on Wednesday. The 30-stock\u00a0Dow<\/a>\u00a0slipped more than 870 points, or about 1.8%, while the\u00a0S&P 500<\/a>\u00a0lost roughly 2.1%. A drawdown in technology stocks led the selloff, with the Nasdaq Composite<\/a>\u00a0sliding 2.4% on the day. All three benchmark indices logged their worst daily performances since Oct. 10. The selloff also dragged the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq into negative territory for 2026.<\/p>\n The so-called sell America trade<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday was accompanied by a spike in U.S. Treasury yields and a decline in the U.S. dollar. The 10-year Treasury yield<\/a> surged and briefly topped 4.3% at the high of the day.<\/p>\n Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his efforts to take possession of Greenland. He threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and Champagne after French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly snubbed a seat on Trump’s “Board of Peace”<\/a> on Gaza. Over the weekend, Trump had announced that eight NATO members’ U.S. imports<\/a>\u00a0will face escalating levies “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.” The tariffs will start at 10% on Feb. 1 and rise to 25% on June 1, his Truth Social post<\/a> said.<\/p>\n Danish pension operator AkademikerPension said Tuesday that it is exiting its roughly $100 million position<\/a> in U.S. Treasurys\u00a0because of finance concerns over U.S. debt. The move came as tensions between the U.S. and Denmark escalate on the back of Trump’s moves. <\/p>\n “It’s not a major pullback yet, and so we do think there’s a possibility and a very realistic possibility for things to go perhaps a more negative turn before they get better, and that’s something that investors could want to position for,” Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management, said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”<\/p>\n This week is a busy one for corporate earnings, which U.S. investors are hoping will continue to prop up the stock market this year. Netflix<\/a> shares slid in after-hours trading Tuesday after the streaming giant posted a narrow fourth-quarter earnings beat<\/a>. <\/p>\n Johnson & Johnson<\/a>, Halliburton<\/a> and Travelers<\/a> are slated to report Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange, Jan. 20, 2026.
