21.01.202606:26:53UTC+00European Stocks Set to Fall for 4th Session

European stock markets were poised to open weaker on Wednesday, marking a fourth consecutive day of declines. This trend reflects a mix of concerns, notably President Trump's intensifying rhetoric concerning Greenland, alongside continued instability within global bond markets, which together have dampened investor confidence. President Trump has issued tariff threats against European countries, aiming to assert control over Greenland, and this has further inflamed tensions as he prepares for his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos today. Simultaneously, there's speculation that the European Parliament might halt the approval process for the EU-US trade agreement, initially settled last July, ahead of a crisis meeting of EU leaders scheduled in Brussels on Thursday. Additionally, investors are keeping a close eye on the latest UK inflation figures, although no major corporate earnings reports are expected from Europe. In premarket activities, futures for both the Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 showed a slight decline of approximately 0.1%.
