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.

Trump’s Controversial Stance on Crimea: A Path to Peace or a Political Gamble?


In a recent interview, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that "Crimea will stay with Russia," sparking intense debate over his approach to ending the war in Ukraine. Trump emphasized that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and others "understand" this position, citing historical ties and the region's predominantly Russian-speaking population. Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, remains a contentious issue in peace negotiations.

Trump has accused Zelenskyy of prolonging the conflict by resisting concessions, including the recognition of Crimea as Russian territory. Meanwhile, Russia continues its aggressive military actions, with recent drone strikes causing civilian casualties in Ukraine. Trump’s administration faces mounting pressure to broker a peace deal, with warnings that U.S. military aid to Ukraine could be at risk if negotiations stall.

Critics argue that Trump's stance undermines Ukraine's sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent. Supporters, however, view it as a pragmatic step toward ending a devastating war. As the situation unfolds, the world watches to see whether this controversial strategy will lead to peace or further conflict.
