Hey Gang,

Two catalysts sparked volatility in financial markets into today’s trading session:
1) US & EU tariff escalation over president Trump’s Greenland acquisition ambitions
2) Japanese long-term bond yields blew out to the upside

Let’s assess the damage. HAGE 🍻

PS - I’ll be in Argentina 1/21 → 1/26 for a wedding! My availability will be limited
