Wall Street Pauses as Tech Weakness Weighs on Futures

  U.S. stock futures were mixed as investors navigated lingering volatility following a sharp pullback in major technology names. Dow Jones futures showed a slight uptick, while S&P 500 futures hovered near flat. Nasdaq futures, however, continued to drift lower, reflecting ongoing pressure in the tech sector. The recent downturn in high‑growth technology stocks has prompted a broader shift in market sentiment, with traders rotating toward more defensive positions. Concerns about the sustainability of tech valuations and the impact of AI‑driven competition have added to the cautious mood. Attention now turns to Alphabet’s upcoming earnings report, which is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the market’s next move. With investors eager for clarity on the company’s AI strategy and advertising performance, the results could either steady the tech landscape or deepen the current uncertainty.

IVF Mix-Up: Australian Woman Gives Birth to Stranger's Baby

In a rare and distressing incident, an Australian woman gave birth to a child conceived from another couple's embryo due to a mix-up at a fertility clinic. The error occurred at Monash IVF's Brisbane clinic, one of Australia's leading fertility providers, and was attributed to "human error" during the embryo transfer process.

The mistake was discovered months after the birth when the parents requested to transfer their remaining embryos to another clinic. An investigation revealed that an additional embryo in storage belonged to another patient, confirming the mix-up. Monash IVF has since issued an apology and pledged to support the affected families through this challenging time.

This incident has sparked discussions about the need for stricter regulations and protocols in IVF clinics to prevent such errors in the future. While rare, similar cases have been reported globally, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in fertility treatments.
