Happy Monday. This is TheStreet’s Stock Market Today for Jan. 20, 2026. You can follow the latest updates on the market here in our daily live blog.

Update: 9:30 a.m. ET

Opening Bell

The U.S. stock market is now open. As expected, this morning’s declines are pretty hefty.

Out of the gate, the Nasdaq Composite (-1.66%) is down over one and a half percentage points, while the Dow (-1.51%), Russell 2000 (-1.50%), and S&P 500(-1.38%) aren’t doing much better.

The declines come after a weekend exchange of words over President Donald Trump’s proposed takeout of Greenland. The semi-autonomous Danish territory is not for sale, but the U.S. leader has threatened to seize the territory, reaching a “red line” for Europe, according to German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil.

Many EU countries have already dispatched troops, took steps to suspend the EU’s proposed trade deal with the U.S., and floated possible responses.

Treasury Troubles

The move has also impacted the fixed income and commodity markets. U.S. Treasurys yields are now above the levels that they were at when the Federal Reserve began cutting rates late last year. Today, the 10Y Treasury is up 5.6 bips to 4.287%. The 20Y and 30Y are up 8.8 and 8.3% bips to 4.88% and 4.923%, which are some big leaps.

One of the acute concerns right now is that the President’s newfound interest in colonialism could prompt a flight from U.S. assets, including Treasurys. Further, the U.S’s moves could marginalize the U.S. on the global stage, possibly threatening its reserve currency status as well.

Continuous futures for gold (+3.29% to $4,746.80) and silver (+6.77% to $94.53) both rose, along with WTI natural gas (+15.46% to $3.115) and WTI Crude oil (+1.88% to $60.56).

The Cboe Volatility Index is up 8% at 20.35.

S&P Now Down YTD

Notably, this decline puts the S&P 500 in the red on the year, erasing an otherwise strong start to 2026. Here is a look at the S&P 500 heat map at the open (15 min delayed):

A.M. Update

Good morning. Traders might have enjoyed the long weekend, but some spent their day off simply bracing for today.

As futures went live on Sunday evening, U.S. equity futures were already in free fall. At the same time, U.S. Treasury yields climbed to levels not seen since Sept. 2025, before the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates.

Threats on Greenland are to blame. Investors, who were already processing a recent U.S. incursion in Venezuela and preparing for a Supreme Court decision on the legality of Trump’s tariffs, are now processing even more tense matters — not just on markets, but globally.

Today might be just the opening innings of the fallout as the escalation of Trump’s imperial ambitions now threatens a myriad of new problems. The threat on Greenland, a territory of Denmark, has led European leaders to punt on a U.S-E.U. trade deal, while also weighing financial countermeasures against the U.S.

And aside from implications for the market, Trump’s rhetoric threatens to disrupt long-term consequences to U.S. relations abroad, including with NATO and EU allies.
