Karen, we began with the latest from the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, and a major reversal from President Donald Trump when it comes to Greenland. The president now says he will not impose tariffs on goods from countries that oppose his effort to take possession of the island.
He says he has reached a framework of a future deal on Denmark's territory after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
It's the ultimate long-term deal. And I think it puts everybody in a really good position. especially as it pertains to security and minerals and everything else.
President Trump is not giving details of the deal. He's not saying whether it grants the U.S. ownership of Greenland. Secretary General Rutte says the island's sovereignty was not part of the discussion.

Chapter 2: What recent developments occurred regarding Trump's Greenland pivot?
Let's get the very latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker in New York. John.
And Nathan, call it a pivot or the taco trade for a Trump always chickens out. The major stock averages in the U.S. ended yesterday's session up over 1%. A UBS basket of stocks exposed to tariffs that closed 2.7% higher. Then you have shares of car makers, which are some of the more vulnerable to tariffs. They're helping lead gains in Europe this morning.
With geopolitics on the back burner for now, Allison McCartney at UBS sees the bull rally continuing.
This bull market that began in late 2022, the things that are motivating it and sustaining it have not changed in the last 48 hours.
Still, technical signals are flashing some caution. Analysts warn the S&P 500 is approaching a setup that can amplify market swings. Matt Maley, the chief market strategist at Miller-Tabak, says of the latest market gain, the president merely offset a short-term problem that he himself created. In New York, I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, John, thank you. A Greenland's pension fund is mulling whether it should continue investing in U.S. stocks. CESA Pension, which manages around $1.1 billion, currently has around a 50% exposure to the U.S. Its chief executive said it's contemplating the move and what would be a symbolic stand against President Trump's push to seize control of the Arctic island.
Well, at Davos today, Karen, President Trump's Board of Peace initiative is taking center stage with a proposed charter announcement on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. Russian President Vladimir Putin says he's ready to commit frozen Russian assets in the United States toward rebuilding damaged regions of Ukraine once a deal to end the war is concluded.
He also told Russia's Security Council he could give a billion dollars of those assets for membership in the Board of Peace. Speaking at Davos, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff gave an update on plans for the Peace Board, which is still in its early stages.
We've got 20 or maybe 25 leaders who have already said yes. This is not such an easy place to get to. We had many people who we weren't sure if they were going to even want to get an invitation. Now they're calling up for invitations. So everyone wants to be a part of this. What we're going to do here, what the president is going to do here, it'll be game-changing for the world.

Chapter 3: How are European leaders reacting to the Greenland situation?
Sometimes it's behaviorists like Dick Thaler or Bob Schiller. Sometimes it's fund managers like Peter Lynch, Bill Miller, Ray Dalio. Sometimes it's authors, Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short and Moneyball. Regardless of the conversation, these are the folks that move markets each week. That's the Masters in Business podcast with me, Barry Ritholtz.
