Florida Cities Enforce Curfews And Mass Arrests After Spring Break Chaos Do certain groups of people deliberately seek out chaos? Do they revel in it so much that they choose to create it from thin air wherever they go? Or, are they completely unaware of the destruction that follows them around? One thing is certain - they obviously don't care about how it affects the people around them. Spring Break in Florida has always been a wild affair attracting masses of young vacationers from across the US to white sandy beaches, condos and the night life. Decades ago, the locals were complaining just as they are now, but in recent years the demographics have changed dramatically and with this change comes the inevitable increase in random criminal violence. It's not just loud parties and DUIs anymore. BREAKING - Shocking video of what spring break in Daytona Beach, Florida, looks like in 2026 compared to the early 2000s is going viral, showing what were once nice, peaceful beach parties being turned into gangland for black teens and guns. pic.twitter.com/TYhdTDx4Xw — Right Angle News Network (@Rightanglenews) March 19, 2026 Some residents are now referring to these incidents as "Ghetto Spring Break". With the demographic being pushed out of traditional getaways like Miami Beach due to higher fees and restrictions, they have surged into alternatives like Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach. This has led to skyrocketing crime and essentially unusable tourist spots. #News | Four shootings and massive unruly crowds turned Daytona Beach’s spring-break weekend into a public safety nightmare, as thousands fled the sand while police from multiple agencies rushed in to restore order. pic.twitter.com/ffaeLjxswR — ONLY in DADE (@ONLYinDADE) March 16, 2026 A large percentage of the crime is committed by minors and college age vacationers.

Investors may catch their breath next week as earnings season winds down and only a few meaningful economic reports are released. The Iran war will remain front and center. Stock selling accelerated Friday into the close after Reuters reported that Iraq had declared force majeure on all oil fields operated by foreign companies. Oil prices spiked on the news, with Brent crude topping $112 a barrel and WTI oil trading over $98 a barrel. As we noted recently, oil is the lifeblood of the global economy. It's a large, unavoidable input cost for Main Street and Wall Street, so when its price rises, the price of most things goes up. As a result, active investors should regularly monitor oil prices every minute the market is open; they dictate how Wall Street views market value because commodity prices move inversely to corporate earnings potential. 1. How is the jobs market? Investors are still trying to get a handle on that question, and will look to the weekly initial claims report on Thursday and the productivity and costs report on Tuesday. These aren't the most important gauges of employment — the monthly nonfarm payroll report is king — but given how little data is coming out amid rising fears of stagnation, market watchers will pay more attention than usual. Expect more talk of stagnation — a prolonged period of slow or no economic growth, characterized by high unemployment and stagnant wages — given higher oil prices, rising concerns about the Middle East conflict, and corporate adoption of AI. Those fears are starting to make their way into the market. Look no further than the change in fed funds futures. One month ago, the odds of an April rate cut were 17%, while there was a 94% chance of at least one cut by the end of this year, and a 75% chance of more than one cut, according to the CME's FedWatch tool , which calculates probabilities using 30-day fed funds futures contracts. Odds of an April cut are now at 10%, and there is a 73% chance of no cuts this year. ...

Gold wavered after the biggest weekly decline in more than 40 years, as traders digested escalating threats by the US and Iran in a war that has entered a fourth week. Bullion traded either side of $4,500 an ounce early on Monday, having lost nearly 11% last week. Surging oil prices have raised inflationary risks and reduced the likelihood of near-term interest-rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and other central banks. This is a headwind for non-yielding gold, which has declined for eight consecutive sessions. Crude gained early on Monday, after US President Donald Trump gave Iran a two-day deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or have its power plants bombed. Iran countered that it would close the strategic waterway “completely” and target energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure if its power facilities come under attack. Trump’s ultimatum came at 7:44 p.m. New York time on Saturday.

US President Donald Trump’s border tsar said on Sunday that having immigration agents bolster short-staffed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) teams will speed up airport queues but the union for TSA workers said that does not solve what they see as the underlying problem of pay. In appearances on Sunday news shows, US border tsar Tom Homan and Transport Secretary Sean Duffy argued that Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) staff can help with airport security screening, starting on Monday, even though they have not been specifically trained for it. “When we deploy tomorrow, we’ll have a well thought-out plan to execute,” Homan said on CNN’s State of the Union programme. Advertisement Tens of thousands of TSA agents have been working without pay for weeks because of an impasse between Democrats and Republicans in Congress over funding the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the parent agency of ICE and TSA. Advertisement Democrats have criticised the department’s immigration operations that have killed US citizens and sparked public outrage, demanding a change in rules. Some 10 per cent of TSA employees have been absent from work in recent days, with the rate even higher at major airports in Atlanta, New York City and Houston, leading to lengthy queues for passengers trying to get to their gates. Hundreds of TSA agents have simply resigned, according to their labour union and TSA.

Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange, March 17, 2026. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Stock futures fell Sunday night, weighed by the U.S.' latest warning against Iran, after the major U.S. benchmarks posted their fourth-straight weekly slide. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures lost 143 points, or 0.3%. S&P 500 futures shed 0.4%, and Nasdaq-100 futures pulled back by 0.5%. Those declines came as the Iran war entered its fourth week, with tensions escalating over the weekend. President Donald Trump threatened an attack on Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz — a key shipping route for oil and other energy products — isn't reopened. Iran responded in turn said it would target U.S. infrastructure, including energy and desalination facilities in the Gulf, if the U.S. carried out its threat. Crude prices rose in early trading Sunday. West Texas Intermediate futures climbed 0.5% to $98.73 per barrel. International benchmark Brent advanced 0.5% to $112.76. "Clearly, Iran is not backing down," wrote Ben Emons, CIO and founder of Fed Watch Advisors. "The risk-off sentiment could worsen substantially this week, with the first visible macro effects in a deluge of global PMI data. … Portfolio de-risking could continue, making cash a viable asset again." The S&P Global Flash U.S. PMI report is due Tuesday morning. Investors will also be keeping an eye on support levels. The S&P 500 last week broke below its 200-day moving average for the first time since May. The Dow and Nasdaq fell around 2% each last week, while the S&P 500 lost 1.5%. For the Dow, it also marks its first four-week losing streak since 2023. 7 Min Ago Watch semis this week, says Fundstrat Fundstrat technical strategist Mark Newton thinks semiconductor stocks could be vulnerable if the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) breaks below $369.

The stock market is having a down year so far, with the S&P 500 down 3% as of March 19. The crypto market is doing even worse. Bitcoin (BTC 3.72%) has lost 19% in 2026 alone, continuing a slump that started last October, and other major coins have declined even more. If there's a silver lining in that sea of red, it's that investing in cryptocurrency is much cheaper than it was a few months ago. With that in mind, let's look at the best cryptocurrencies if you want to buy the dip. 1. Bitcoin Sometimes keeping it simple is the way to go. In crypto investing, the simplest option is to buy Bitcoin. It's not the most advanced cryptocurrency, and you can't launch decentralized finance (DeFi) projects or meme coins on its blockchain. But Bitcoin's name value and size make it arguably the safest cryptocurrency investment. The case for Bitcoin is that it's the largest digital asset and has a maximum supply of 21 million coins. Investors buy it as a store of value and to diversify their portfolios, and the supply cap means there's only so much Bitcoin to go around.

Bitcoin ETFs have received $56.7 billion in total net inflows, and they recently recorded seven straight days of net inflows. That's the longest such streak since October and a good sign that Bitcoin still has plenty of institutional support during this downturn. 2. Ethereum Like Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH 5.06%) is attracting institutional attention, both as an investment and as a settlement layer.

Chris Rigg (Sunderland): It was a solid performance from Rigg in a memorable Tyne-Wear derby. He did not do anything exceptional against Newcastle but he did everything really, really well. With Rigg, you know what you are getting from him. James Garner (Everton): He could have just chilled out after getting called up to the England squad this week. But instead, he cracked on and put in a great performance. It was a lovely assist from him to Beto for Everton's opener. Having played with him at Watford, I know he's all about high energy and big tackles. He has got it all and I hope he does well for England to force his way into that World Cup squad. John McGinn (Aston Villa): He's their captain, leader and heartbeat. It's been two massive performances in the space of a week from him. Villa are a decent team. But McGinn makes them a great one. If they are to finish in the top five and challenge for the Europa League title, they will need him to continue performing at this level. Harry Wilson (Fulham): He has made a habit of scoring big goals and he did that again this week. I wonder how they are going to replace him if he decides to leave. They are not going to spend £60m on somebody with his qualities. They need him to sign a new contract as he is a massively important part of that Fulham squad. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): It feels like the Portuguese midfielder is becoming a permanent fixture in the team of the week. You have to put him in again after another goal, and also forcing the James Hill own goal. How long can United remain average and keep him before he decides it is time to leave the club?

Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge. The latest update lifts Nvidia's modeled fair value from US$253.02 to US$269.23, a move of about 6% that reflects refreshed assumptions in the valuation work. Analysts linking this change to recent research are weighing AI data center demand, the Blackwell and Rubin roadmaps, and new partnerships in areas like autonomous vehicles and cloud infrastructure as they refine how they view growth, risk, and valuation support. As you read on, you will see how to track these shifting narratives and what they might mean for your own Nvidia view. Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value NVIDIA. What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways Multiple firms including BofA, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Cantor Fitzgerald and Citi highlight Nvidia’s GTC update that visibility for Blackwell and Rubin related data center sales and shipments has reached at least US$1t through 2025 to 2027, which they view as strong support for the current AI data center thesis. BofA, Wedbush, Morgan Stanley, Rosenblatt, Bernstein and others have raised Nvidia price targets into the US$260 to US$300 range, citing Q4 results and guidance that they describe as solid or better than prior expectations, along with continued traction in Blackwell and related platforms. New Street added Nvidia to its best ideas list. Morgan Stanley replaced Micron with Nvidia as its top semiconductor pick, pointing to what it sees as a supportive entry valuation relative to its 2027 earnings estimates and growing enthusiasm for the longer term AI compute cycle. Several research houses, including BofA and Argus, point to Nvidia’s broadening role beyond core data centers, such as autonomous vehicles, networking, optical components and storage partnerships, which they see as extending the company’s growth runway. 🐻 Bearish Takeaways Some commentary...
