Recent demands made by President-elect Trump to NATO partners could undermine the confidence of allies and could embolden rivals. These demands include asking allies to cede territory to the United States and implementing greater defense spending than the United States.
Trump was thinking about controlling Greenland in 2019. In summary, there are about three overt and covert purposes:
1. National security.
Greenland is of strategic significance. The US military has an air base here, which is the northernmost outpost on the earth. There is an opinion in the United States that NATO is not prepared for possible Russian aggression in the Arctic, and Russian nuclear submarines can sail under the ice on the east coast without being detected. And Russia has the idea of cooperating with China in the Arctic.
2. Develop rare earths.
Greenland is rich in rare earths, and the United States hopes to develop the island's rare earth resources to resolve China's control over supply.
3. Shift the focus.
It is very likely that Trump will find it difficult to fulfill his promise of domestic tax cuts and foreign tariffs. How can the US economy withstand so much pressure? He must make up for himself, so Greenland is a good excuse.
Geopolitics does affect the volatility of the US stock market, but Trump always does things unexpectedly and makes a feint to the east and attacks in the west. After he takes office, it may be a different picture.
US stocks have a rebound momentum. The AI boom continues. People have expectations for the Trump administration's pro-business actions. Consumer and corporate confidence is improving. Some major technology trends - quantum computing, intelligent robots, etc. are making more progress.
There are many positive factors. The market has the motivation to rebound on the basis of positive factors.
However, a major obstacle stands in the way: reflation. Concerns about reflation will not disappear soon, and there are also strong grounds, but they are exaggerated.
There will be ups and downs in the next few months. Concerns about reflation are on the mind, and the market is in trouble. When the concerns subside, the market is jubilant.
