On a Monday in July 2021, Wall Street registered its sharpest single-day decline since October as the delta variant reawakened a fear that had never fully left the market: that the road back to normalcy might be longer, and more treacherous, than hoped. The Dow fell more than 700 points, and the stocks most exposed to human movement — airlines, cruise lines, energy — bore the heaviest losses. In the oldest rhythm of markets, uncertainty about the future was priced into the present, and investors were left to weigh whether this was a moment of panic or a genuine turning point.
