The tariff battles of 2025 are back. And it’s all about Greenland.
Wall Street began the week with a thrashing. Stocks posted heavy losses and a global bond sell-off, sparked in part over a renewed US-EU tariff war, forced bond yields to rise.
The geopolitical fight over the Arctic territory highlighted the sensitivity of the bond market and how the threat of new instability carries wide-ranging implications for the economy.
Treasury yields rose to their highest levels in four months as some investors bought into the "sell America" trade, prompted by President Trump's latest round of saber-rattling. A sell-off in Japanese bonds added to the pressure.

10-year Treasury yield inches lower as investors monitor escalating trade tensions
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was relatively unchanged on Wednesday following Tuesday's flight from U.S. assets as fresh tariff threats ignited "sell America" trade fears.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury was down less than 1 basis point at 4.287% — it topped 4.3% at the high of the day on Tuesday. The 30-year Treasury bond was more than 1 basis point higher at 4.936%, while the 2-year Treasury note yield was more than 1 basis point lower at 3.582%.
One basis point is equal to 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
The 10-year yield was higher earlier in the day after President Donald Trump said in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he was "seeking immediate negotiations" with Denmark to "discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States." He added, though, that he would not use military force in his pursuit.
