Technology stocks bounced on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said the U.S. has reached a “framework” for a deal for Greenland with NATO and dialed back his tariff threats on Europe.

Trump announced the development in a post to Truth Social and said he would hold back on tariffs planned for Feb. 1 on several European nations.

“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nation,” he wrote.

Chip stocks led the tech sector’s gain. Intel rallied 11%, while Advanced Micro Devices and Arm Holdings surged about 9% and 8%, respectively. Micron Technology and Marvell Technology rose at least 5% each.

Stocks surged earlier in the day after Trump ruled out the use of military force in Greenland, easing geopolitical fears that sparked a global sell off earlier in the week.

On Tuesday, tech companies had sold off after Trump pledged new tariffs on eight countries that opposed a U.S. acquisition of Greenland as leaders convened in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum

A potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, along with a takeover of Greenland, are among the agenda items for the president and his team while in Switzerland.

Elsewhere, Tesla and Nvidia gained more than 2%, while Meta Platforms added about 1.5%. Amazon, Salesforce and Apple were up slightly.
