Ukraine Marks Somber Anniversary as Zelenskyy Vows Resolve Amid Fractured Allied Support

Ukrainians pay tribute to victims of the Russian invasion, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. As Ukraine enters another year of full‑scale war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the anniversary to deliver a message of defiance and endurance.

Market Turmoil: Stocks Plunge Amid Renewed Trade War Concerns

    

The U.S. stock market faced a sharp downturn today as escalating trade tensions between the United States and China rattled investor confidence. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by approximately 1,000 points, marking a 2.5% decline. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 dropped 3.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.3%.

The sell-off was triggered by the White House's announcement of increased tariffs on Chinese goods, raising the total levies to 145%. This unexpected escalation in the trade war has left Wall Street grappling with uncertainty. Analysts warn that the heightened tariffs could lead to slower economic growth and rising prices, further straining the U.S. economy.

Despite a brief respite in the trade battle earlier this week, today's developments underscore the volatile nature of the market. Investors are now bracing for more turbulence as the trade war continues to unfold.
