AI Anxiety and Metal Mayhem Shake U.S. Markets

U.S. stock futures stumbled as renewed doubts about the sustainability of the artificial‑intelligence boom rippled through financial markets. Tech-heavy benchmarks led the decline, with Nasdaq futures sliding and the S&P 500 also moving lower as investors reassessed whether AI-linked valuations have run too far, too fast. The unease wasn’t limited to equities. Precious metals experienced dramatic intraday swings, with gold and silver both whipsawing after a period of rapid gains. Traders pointed to shifting expectations around interest rates and safe‑haven demand as key drivers behind the volatility. The combination of tech-sector skepticism and commodity turbulence has created a tense backdrop for markets. While some investors see the pullback as a healthy reset, others worry it may signal deeper concerns about the durability of the recent rally. Markets now look ahead to upcoming economic data and corporate earnings for clearer direction.

University of Guelph Responds to Norovirus Outbreak


The University of Guelph has confirmed a positive test for norovirus as over 190 students report symptoms of gastroenteritis. The outbreak, which began in South Residence, has prompted the university to take immediate action to contain the spread of the virus.

Public health officials have been working closely with the university to implement enhanced cleaning measures and promote hygiene best practices among students. Custodial staff are spending additional time sanitizing commonly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs and washrooms. Students are being reminded to wash their hands frequently and avoid populated areas if they are feeling ill.

Despite the outbreak, the university is confident that the risk to the broader community remains low. However, they continue to monitor the situation closely and provide support to affected students.
