Market impact: Tech stocks, particularly Nvidia (NVDA), were among the hardest hit, driving the tech-heavy Nasdaq lower. The Iranian Rial hit a record low, reflecting the impact of sanctions on Iran's economy. The U.S.-Canada trade spat also weighed on markets, with Canadian stocks underperforming.
