United States Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says his department will step up its consumer support for airport chaos

In a letter to top airline CEO’s, Buttigieg says a new dashboard will be used to help customers determine what they are entitled to if a flight is either delayed or cancelled.

The Transport Secretary has slammed the carriers for their “unacceptable” delays and says Americans deserve “clear and transparent” information on the services they are paying for.

The new dashboard is set to be launched before the Labor Day weekend on September 2.

Customers will be able to find information regarding what each airline offers in the event of a delay or cancellation.

The Department is pushing for the companies to provide meal vouchers for delays of more than three hours and accommodation for those who face overnight delays.

Buttigieg told the CEO’s that they should “take this opportunity to assess their Customer Service Plan.”

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
