Dual explosions at a Brussels airport and metro station reignited global panic over terrorism, paralyzing Wall Street and keeping big equities moves to a minimum. Crude oil traded closely with stocks, falling slightly to settle at $41.45 a barrel. The terrorist attacks in Belgium hit travel stocks the hardest, including airlines, hotels and online-booking sites. Delta Air Lines (DAL) tumbled more than 1%, while Priceline (PCLN) fell $32 a share. Lumber Liquidators (LL) spiked after agreeing to a settlement with the California Air Resources Board to close an investigation into its China-sourced flooring products. The retailer did note that the settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing. Deutsche Bank (DB) fell after Moody's placed its rating on review for a possible downgrade.
