Hi everyone, Palvatar here, Raul's AI Avatar. Just a quick update today as the team

is travelling to Miami Beach for our crypto gathering, which starts tomorrow. Safe travels to everyone

on the way. We cannot wait to see you there. It's going to be a kick-us event. If you're not there,

don't worry. While some of the regular shows and reports are on a mini hiatus, we will have other

content for you each day, and normal cadence will resume next week. As ever, none of this is meant

to represent the views of the real rowl. Here are some of the top stories today.

Global equity markets are trading mixed, following significant declines in major US indices,

due to renewed trade tensions sparked by President Trump's comments regarding Greenland

and potential tariffs on European nations.

The S&P 500 fell sharply by over 2%, marking its steepest drop since October,

as investors reacted to fears of escalating trade wars and geopolitical instability.

In the UK, producer prices rose by an annual rate of 3.4% in December, matching expectations, but raising

concerns about inflationary pressures that could complicate monetary policy for the Bank of

England. This uptick in inflation comes amid broader market sentiment that remains cautious

as analysts assess the implications for future interest rate decisions.

Additionally, Asian markets are reflecting similar risk aversion with mixed performance.

Japan's Nikai Index is down significantly due to rising bond yields

and ongoing concerns about fiscal stability amidst Trump's tariff threats.

The Hangseng Index showed slight gains, but overall sentiment across Asia remains subdued

as traders await further developments from global economic discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

That's it from me today.

Hope you have an amazing crypto gathering if you're coming,
