President Donald Trump’s appearance, which comes on the same day his impeachment trial starts in Washington, began with him calling the trial a “hoax” and “disgraceful.” In his speech, he lauded his economic achievements and said the U.S. is “thriving” and “winning again like never before.” Donald Trump delivers a speech on the opening day of the World Economic Forum in Davos, on Jan. 21.

The bleak China trade data overnight added to worries of a slowing global economy, after European Central Bank’s cut growth forecasts and unveiled a new round of stimulus, which led the U.S. stocks to record their fourth day of declines.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Many top equity indexes posted their best start to a year in decades, but a slowdown is underway in several major economies and the still-unresolved trade war between the U.S. and China has kept investors cautious. A monthly Reuters poll of 43 fund managers around the globe, taken Feb 14-27, showed cash holdings - a key gauge of investor caution - were increased to their highest since June 2015, to 7.2 percent from 6.2 percent last month.
