Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Global Trade Turmoil Triggers a Wave of Safe-Haven Demand, Gold and Silver Both Reach Record Highs

January 19, 2026 — Global financial markets abruptly shifted their focus from routine economic data to a geopolitical vortex in the North Atlantic. The U.S. President announced plans to impose a 10% tariff on eight countries—including Denmark, France, and Germany—starting February 1, over the Greenland issue, and warned that tariffs could be raised to 25% if an acquisition agreement is not reached by June. The move prompted a strong response from the European Union, which is preparing retaliatory measures targeting €93 billion worth of U.S. goods. Driven by these developments, risk-aversion surged across markets.

Spot gold continued to set new all-time highs during the Asian session, reaching USD 4,668.96 per ounce, with momentum pointing toward a potential test of the USD 4,700 level. U.S. crude oil traded near USD 59.06 per barrel, caught between demand concerns and heightened geopolitical risk. Meanwhile, spot silver delivered particularly aggressive gains, breaking above the USD 93 mark and showing strong upside momentum.
