A widespread technical outage has disrupted operations across multiple industries globally, causing minor impacts on the United States. The Cboe Volatility Index, known as Wall Street's "fear gauge," has surged to its highest level since early May, while the dollar has strengthened in value.

The outage has grounded planes and sent broadcasters off the air. According to the latest figures, over 5,000 flights have been canceled worldwide due to the issue, resulting in major delays. Crowds at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport were caught in the disruption, facing delays and cancellations.
