Investor risk appetite improved after Trump ruled out using force to acquire Greenland and signaled a NATO framework for a potential deal over it, abandoning earlier tariff threats on Europe. This supported most US financial assets during the session and made implied volatility fell markedly across asset classes.
US Treasury yields eased, while eurozone yields edged higher and peripheral spreads held steady, all of which followed a modest rebound in Japanese bonds during the Asian session. Equity indices were mixed in Europe and advanced in the US, led by large tech stocks recovering from Tuesday’s losses.

European and US natural gas prices spiked on concerns over unusually cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere, while oil prices were rather flat as geopolitical tensions surrounding Greenland subsided
