The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland is back in focus this week, with US President Donald Trump scheduled to deliver his speech tonight.
Trump’s remarks on global trade, tariffs, and the US economic stance could quickly shift market sentiment, especially as investors assess the broader implications for risk assets.
Key Takeaways
