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.

US, Colombia Reach Agreement on Deportations; Tariffs and Sanctions Suspended

 

The United States and Colombia have reached a significant agreement regarding deportations, averting a potential trade war. The White House announced on Sunday that Colombia agreed to accept deported migrants on U.S. military aircraft, reversing its earlier refusal. In response, the U.S. has decided to hold off on imposing threatened tariffs and sanctions.

President Donald Trump had initially threatened 25% tariffs on Colombian goods and other sanctions after Colombia declined to accept deportation flights. However, Colombian President Gustavo Petro agreed to accept the migrants, ensuring that the tariffs and sanctions will remain on hold.

Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo stated, "We have overcome the impasse with the U.S. government. The Colombian government has also prepared the presidential plane to facilitate the return of deported Colombians.

The agreement highlights the importance of cooperation between the two nations, with Colombia being the third-largest U.S. trading partner in Latin America. The U.S. is Colombia's largest trading partner, with a significant trade relationship established by a 2006 free trade agreement.

The White House emphasized that this agreement demonstrates America's respected position on the global stage and expects other nations to cooperate in accepting deported citizens.
