On Wednesday, a single remark by U.S. President Trump at the Davos Forum completely changed the market sentiment. He publicly stated that there would be no use of force to acquire Greenland, a statement that immediately sent a strong political signal—economic competition takes precedence over military confrontation.
Result? The market reacted swiftly and sharply. The tense geopolitical nerves instantly loosened, and investors began reassessing risk exposure. Spot gold plummeted 0.8% from the previous trading day's all-time high of $4,887.82 per ounce, the US dollar strengthened, and major global stock markets collectively rose.
The logic behind this is quite clear: previously, escalating tensions in various parts of the world led to a flood of funds into safe-haven assets like gold and the US dollar. Once the emergency warning of geopolitical risks was lifted, these funds immediately started seeking new allocation opportunities. The rapid rotation of trillions of capital among global assets vividly reflects this risk re-evaluation.
Interestingly, this kind of market volatility driven directly by political statements has become the new normal. Every statement from the White House can instantly rewrite the flow of global capital—this is indeed the market reality of the "Twitter governance" era. For investors, the key is not predicting these statements themselves, but understanding how they reprice global assets and how capital rotates between safe-haven and risk assets.

A single sentence can rewrite the flow of global capital, and that's the current market—it's so crazy.

A single statement can move trillions, this is the era we live in... The seemingly fragile political nerves are actually the market fooling itself.
