The U.S. stock market bounced back from its\u00a0worst day since October\u00a0on Wednesday after\u00a0President Donald Trump\u00a0said he reached the framework for a deal about Greenland, an island he\u2019s long coveted, and won\u2019t impose tariffs he had threatened on several European countries.<\/p>\n
The S&P 500 rallied 1.2% after Trump said the deal, \u201cif consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America\u201d and its allies in the North Atlantic region. The announcement triggered an immediate move higher in the stock market, which found solace earlier in the day after Trump\u00a0ratcheted down his rhetoric\u00a0and told business and government leaders in Europe that he would not use force to take \u201cthe piece of ice.\u201d<\/p>\n
The de-escalation in tensions helped the S&P 500 recover just over half of its 2.1% drop from the day before and pull closer to its\u00a0all-time high\u00a0set earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 588 points, or 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2%.<\/p>\n
Treasury yields also eased in the bond market in another signal of reduced worries among investors. Besides the progress on Greenland, they also got help from a calming of yields in Japan\u2019s jumpy bond market. The value of the U.S. dollar, meanwhile, clawed back some of its declines against other currencies after sliding the day before.<\/p>\n
Trump himself acknowledged how the U.S. stock market sold off on Tuesday because of his desire for Greenland, but he called it \u201cpeanuts compared to what it\u2019s gone up\u201d in the first year of his second term and said it would go up further in the future.<\/p>\n
Trump has a history of making big threats that send financial markets sliding, only to pull back later and reach deals that are seen as less bad for the economy or for inflation than his initial suggestion.<\/p>\n
On one hand, the pattern has given rise to the \u201cTACO\u201d acronym suggesting \u201cTrump Always Chickens Out\u201d if financial markets react strongly enough. On the other, Trump has ultimately struck deals that outsiders may have earlier considered unlikely, ones that he\u2019s crowed about later. The most obvious example is Trump\u2019s announcement of high tariffs on \u201cLiberation Day,\u201d which eventually led to trade deals with many of the world\u2019s major economies.<\/p>\n
Helping to lead the U.S. stock market Wednesday was Halliburton. The oil field services company rose 4.1% after reporting a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.<\/p>\n
United Airlines climbed 2.2% after likewise reporting a better profit for the final three months of 2025 than analysts expected. CEO Scott Kirby said that the airline\u2019s strong momentum in revenue is continuing into 2026.<\/p>\n
They helped offset a 2.2% drop for Netflix. The streamer sank even though it reported a stronger profit than expected. Investors focused instead on\u00a0its slowing subscriber growth\u00a0and its lower-than-expected forecast for profit in the current quarter.<\/p>\n
Kraft Heinz sank 5.7% after Berkshire Hathaway warned investors that it may be interested in\u00a0selling its 325 million shares\u00a0in the food giant that former CEO Warren Buffett helped create in 2015.<\/p>\n
Berkshire took a\u00a0$3.76 billion write-down\u00a0on its Kraft-Heinz stake last summer. Buffett said last fall that he was disappointed in Kraft Heinz\u2019\u00a0plan to split the company\u00a0in two, and Berkshire\u2019s two representatives resigned from the Kraft board last spring.<\/p>\n
All told, the S&P 500 rose 78.76 points to 6,875.62. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 588.64 to 49,077.23, and the Nasdaq composite gained 270.50 to 23,224.82.<\/p>\n
In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.25% from 4.30% late Tuesday. That\u2019s almost all the way back to the 4.24% level where it was at on Friday.<\/p>\n
That was before Trump threatened to\u00a0impose 10% tariffs\u00a0on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland for opposing U.S. control of Greenland. That would have been on top of a 15% tariff specified by a trade agreement with the European Union that has yet to be ratified.<\/p>\n
In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in mostly modest movements across Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.4%.<\/p>\n
The country\u2019s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, has\u00a0called a snap election\u00a0for Feb. 8, which had sent yields of long-term government bonds\u00a0to record levels\u00a0and raised worries across global financial markets. The expectation is that Takaichi, who is capitalizing on strong public support ratings, will cut taxes and boost spending and increase the government\u2019s already heavy load of debt.<\/p>\n
After surging as high as 4.22% on Tuesday, the yield on the 40-year Japanese government bond pulled back to 4.05% Wednesday.<\/p>\n
