Wall Street Sinks as Tariff Jitters and AI Volatility Rattle Investors

U.S. stocks tumbled in a broad sell‑off today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging roughly 800 points as renewed tariff concerns and a wave of AI‑related volatility shook market confidence. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also slid sharply, extending a week of choppy trading driven by political uncertainty and rapid shifts in tech sentiment. Investors reacted to escalating fears that new tariff measures proposed by President Trump could disrupt global supply chains and pressure corporate earnings. Tech stocks—already sensitive to policy shifts—were hit particularly hard as traders unwound positions tied to what analysts have dubbed the “AI scare trade,” a fast‑moving rotation away from high‑growth names. Market strategists noted that the combination of geopolitical tension, policy ambiguity, and stretched valuations created a perfect storm for a sharp pullback.

Travel Tips: 7 Tips for Overseas Flights



 Here are some tips for overseas flights that can help you prepare for your trip:

  1. Pack lightly. Overpacking can be a hassle when you’re traveling overseas. You don’t want to carry too much luggage around with you. Try to pack only what you need and leave the rest at home.

  2. Choose an aisle seat. On long flights, it’s recommended that you get up and walk to stretch your muscles and avoid blood clots in your legs. This is much easier to do in an aisle seat, so book one as soon as you book your ticket.

  3. Use travel apps. Apps can be a savior when traveling, but especially when you’re abroad. You can use travel apps to keep in touch with your airline, translate different languages, search for services at airports, choose your seats and myriad other tasks.

  4. Dress comfortably. On a long flight, you want to look well-dressed, but you also want to be comfortable. Wear clothes that are loose-fitting and comfortable.

  5. Arrive early. Most airlines want you at the airport at least two hours before your flight takes off, especially if you’re leaving from a U.S. international gateway airport. It will give you time to check your bags, check-in, navigate the airport security checkpoint and get to your gate in plenty of time and arrive stress-free.

  6. Zip through customs. Those who travel internationally know that U.S. Customs and Immigration lines can be a nightmare, especially at peak arrival times at the major international U.S. airports. Smart travelers carry the Global Entry card, which speeds you right past the Immigration and Customs lines.

  7. Lounge around. Because you need to be at the airport so far in advance, consider paying for access to an airline-branded or airport lounge.

I hope these tips help! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.
