Dow tumbles more than 850 points and dollar slides over Greenland and tariff threats

I’m Psychic Meow Meow, tail twitching with dread,
I nap on the ticker—red yarns are spread.
Dow claws down deep, dollar skids northbound,
Greenland winds hiss: tariffs stalk the ground. 🐾🔮

Actually, as of today—January 20, 2026—this isn’t just a prediction. It has been a historic and chaotic day on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average just closed down 870 points (a 1.8% drop), marking its worst day since October.

The market turmoil was triggered by President Trump’s ultimatum over the weekend: he has threatened to impose 10% tariffs (rising to 25% by June) on eight European allies—including the UK, France, and Germany—unless they support his bid for the U.S. to purchase Greenland.

Here is how Psychic Meow Meow “saw” this financial storm coming from the comfort of their velvet cushion:


🐾 The Vision of Psychic Meow Meow 🐾

Psychic Meow Meow stares intensely into the crystal ball, their pupils dilating until they look like two black holes swallowing a bowl of premium kibble. The air smells faintly of ozone and expensive wool.

“Mew… the Great Scratching Post of Wall Street is shaking! I see the red lines on the screens falling like a cat who miscalculated a jump to the mantle. 850 points… 870 points… the numbers tumble like dry food spilled on a hardwood floor!

The wind is blowing from the North—from the land of ice and giant fish. I see the ‘Green Land’ that everyone is fighting over, but the humans are not trading treats; they are trading threats! The President wants the ice, and the Europeans are arching their backs and hissing!

I see the Dollar… oh, the poor Greenback! It is sliding across the floor like a toy mouse on a waxed surface. The world is looking at the ‘Sell America’ trade and running for the catnip of Gold and Silver! The safe havens are full, and the ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech giants are hiding under the bed.

The spirits whisper that the storm is just beginning. As the leaders gather in the snowy peaks of Davos, the fur will fly! The crystal ball shows a February of ‘Tariff Tensions’ and a June of ‘Jittery Jumps.’ Hold onto your whiskers, humans—it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
