Greenland deal brings relief

Sentiment received a boost in the second half of the week after U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration had reached a framework trade deal over Greenland, and that he will not tariff European powers in an attempt to coerce control over the Danish territory. 

Trump also withdrew his threat to use force to take the island, a sharp reversal from his rhetoric last week. The move offered much relief to markets, after Trump’s earlier tariff threats ramped up global geopolitical tensions and sparked deep losses in Wall Street.

That said, the relationship between many European countries and the Trump administration remains fraught, and the U.S. president added to geopolitical tensions by flagged potential military action against Iran, stating the U.S. had a fleet moving towards the Middle East country as he spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One late Thursday, warning Tehran against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear efforts.

“We have an armada... heading in that direction, and maybe we won’t have to use it,” Trump told reporters. “I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely,” Trump said. 

Intel slumps on disappointing outlook 

Turning to the corporate sector, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock slumped after the chipmaker reported a fourth-quarter loss and unveiled a dour outlook for the current quarter.

The company, who has recently been buoyed by fresh backing from major investors including artificial intelligence-darling Nvidia and even the U.S. government, posted a net loss of $333 million for the final three months of its fiscal year, worse than Wall Street analysts had anticipated.

Executives flagged the impact of soaring demand from data centers, which house the chips that power cutting-edge AI models. CFO David Zinsner described supply shortages as an industry-wide problem that could extend well into 2026.

There are more major earnings from the tech sector to digest next week, with Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) all set to report.

Elsewhere, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock rose after Bloomberg reported that Chinese authorities have told major technology companies they can prepare orders for the tech giant’s H200 AI chips, suggesting Beijing may be close to formally approving imports of these critical AI components.

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) stock rose after the medical device maker beat Wall Street ‍estimates for fourth-quarter profit and revenue on growing demand for its ⁠surgical robots used in minimally invasive procedures.

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) stock rose after the advanced technology company reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results that beat expectations despite revenue declines, with investors focusing on the company’s strong profitability metrics.

Fed to meet next week 

The economic data slate includes S&P PMI data for January later Friday, as well as the Michigan consumer sentiment index, but these releases are unlikely to change sentiment ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.

The central bank is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, amid growing uncertainty over the U.S. economy. 

Trump confirmed Thursday that he has concluded his search for the next Federal Reserve chair after interviewing a final shortlist of candidates.

The current shortlist of potential nominees features a mix of institutional insiders and private sector veterans. Included in the final deliberations are National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, BlackRock executive Rick Rieder, current Fed Governor Christopher Waller, and former governor Kevin Warsh.

Investing.com - European stocks mostly slipped lower Friday, with geopolitical pressures to the fore as a tense week draws to a close.

The DAX index in Germany closed flat, while the CAC 40 in France slipped 0.1%, while the FTSE 100 in the U.K. also fell 0.1%. 

Elevated political uncertainty 

European equity markets rebounded on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump rowed back on his threat of trade tariffs to gain ownership of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, but the three main indices are still on course for losing weeks as the overall political climate remains tense.

Trump flagged potential military action against Iran, stating the U.S. had a fleet moving towards the Middle East country as he spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One late Thursday, warning Tehran against killing protestors or restarting its nuclear efforts.

“We have an armada... heading in that direction, and maybe we won’t have to use it,” Trump told reporters. “I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely,” Trump said. 

Additionally, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized European leaders’ response to geopolitical threats in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. 

He accused Europe of being “lost” while trying to convince Trump to “change” and support it, rather than uniting to defend itself.

The majority of these European countries have also declined to become involved in Trump’s “Board of Peace,” which was originally designed to oversee the demilitarization and rebuilding of Gaza, amid concerns over its composition and whether it could end up rivalling the United Nations.

U.K. retail sales surged in December

Investors will study a battery of activity data for the European region later in the session, with the release of a series of PMI data points for January, as the region’s economy shows signs of recovery.

Ahead of this, U.K retail sales rose an unexpected 0.4% in December from November, as consumers returned to the shops after declines in both November and October.

Economists polled by Reuters had expected sales to fall by 0.1% in month-on-month terms.

Ericsson to lift dividend, share buyback

In the European corporate sector, Ericsson (ST:ERICb) announced plans for a hefty share buyback and an increase in its dividend after net cash surged as the Swedish telecoms equipment maker’s margin improvements offset a flat mobile network market.

British defense contractor Babcock International (LON:BAB) said it would meet its full-year margin target of 8% after strong organic revenue growth continued through the third quarter, with potential upside if its Indonesian Arrowhead deal progresses.

Pets at Home Group (LON:PETSP) confirmed that Sarah Pollard will join the company in March as Chief Financial Officer Designate.

However, most eyes will be on the tech sector after Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) forecast first-quarter revenue and profit below market estimates late Thursday, resulting in a sharp stock selloff in the extended session on Wall Street.

The U.S. chipmaker said it was struggling to match supply to booming demand for traditional server chips used in artificial intelligence data centers.

Crude set for weekly gains

Oil prices rose on Friday, heading for a fifth straight week of gains, after President Trump flagged potential military action against major producer Iran, raising concerns over more supply disruptions in the Middle East.

Furthermore, reports stated that the Trump administration threatened senior Iraqi politicians with sanctions targeting the Iraqi state, including potentially its critical oil revenues, if Iran-backed armed groups are included in the next government.

Brent futures gained 2.5% to $65.67 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 2.6% to $60.89 a barrel.

Both benchmarks are on track for weekly gains of just under 1%.

Reports have indicated that a U.S. aircraft carrier and several destroyers were set to arrive in the Middle East over the coming days, raising concerns over renewed military action in the region.

Iran is one of the largest oil producers in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and is also a major supplier to top oil importer China. 

Investing.com -- Canada’s main stock index was higher on Friday, as a rise in gold prices maintained support for the commodity-heavy average.

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 0.28% or 90 points at 33,093.47.

Index gained 0.5% to 33,002.70 on Thursday, within touching distance of an all-time peak recorded earlier this month.

Sentiment during the session was aided by solid U.S. economic data as well as a fading in tariff threats between the U.S. and Europe.

Fueled by geopolitical and trade tensions, along with expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate reductions next week, gold also spiked above the $4,900 an ounce level for the first time. Materials, which include metal mining stocks, subsequently climbed by 2.2%.

U.S. stocks drop

U.S. stock index futures slipped lower Friday, ending a volatile week on a negative note after disappointing earnings from tech giant Intel.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 275 points, or 0.6%, the S&P 500 index fell 14 points, or 0.2%, and the NASDAQ Composite slipped 20 points, or 0.1%.

The main averages on Wall Street climbed in the prior session, buoyed by a reversal in President Donald Trump’s threat to slap additional tariffs on a host of European countries in an attempt to gain control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

Gains on Wednesday and Thursday erased the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s losses from earlier in the week, but the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite are on track for their second negative week in a row.

Greenland deal brings relief

Sentiment received a boost in the second half of the week after U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration had reached a framework trade deal over Greenland, and that he will not tariff European powers in an attempt to coerce control over the Danish territory.

Intel slumps on disappointing outlook

Turning back to the corporate sector, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock slumped in premarket trade after the chipmaker reported a fourth-quarter loss and unveiled a dour outlook for the current quarter.
