The dollar fell, silver and gold hit new all-time highs on Monday, January 19, after U.S. President Donald Trump <a href="https://oninvest.com/article/tramp-ob-avil-o-poslinah-v-otnosenii-vos-mi-stran-evropy-iz-za-grenlandii">threatened</a> eight European countries, including Germany, France and the United Kingdom, with 10 percent duties over the weekend because they opposed his attempts to gain control of Greenland.

In 2025, emerging market stocks confidently<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-emerging-markets-stocks-can-keep-trouncing-the-s-p-500-3717fc49"> outperformed</a> US stocks, which was one of the main surprises of the outgoing year. By December 29, the gap in growth dynamics between the MSCI Emerging Markets (judging by <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EEM/">the</a> largest <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EEM/">ETF</a> following it) and the S&amp;P 500 exceeded 12 percentage points.

Next week, the European Council will revisit discussions on how it should use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. The topic jeopardizes confidence in the euro, economists warn. But Sergey Romanchuk, a financier and member of ACI's Foreign Exchange Committee, believes that the market is not taking this threat seriously yet. There are four reasons for this.

Protecting the euro: what happens if the EU uses frozen Russian assets

The European Commission has announced that it has included Russia in the list of high-risk countries in the field of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. This is like a "black mark": European banks, brokers and other financial organizations will be obliged to intensify their scrutiny of any transactions involving this country. What will be the consequences of this decision?
