Wall Street Sinks as Tariff Jitters and AI Volatility Rattle Investors

U.S. stocks tumbled in a broad sell‑off today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging roughly 800 points as renewed tariff concerns and a wave of AI‑related volatility shook market confidence. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also slid sharply, extending a week of choppy trading driven by political uncertainty and rapid shifts in tech sentiment.

While the settlements themselves are modest in size, their recovery offers a symbolic boost at a time when Ukraine has faced ammunition shortages, delayed foreign aid, and intensified Russian assaults.

Analysts caution that the gains do not signal a major shift in momentum, but they do highlight Ukraine’s continued ability to exploit vulnerabilities and maintain tactical initiative where possible. For Kyiv, even incremental progress serves as a reminder—to both domestic and international audiences—that its forces remain determined and capable despite the war’s prolonged challenges.
