Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 150 points, while S&P 500 futures fell almost 0.5%, and the Nasdaq 100 futures dropped by nearly 0.6%.

If you are a Starbucks lover, you likely noticed something a little unusual on your Monday morning coffee jaunt. As you stood in line, awaiting that fresh cup of espresso, you may have encountered several patrons without masks. Perhaps you were one of them.
Starbucks is one of the most recent big names to declare that masks are now optional for fully-vaccinated customers. And today marks the first day that latte drinkers at the popular chain have that freedom. The big caveat, of course, is that local laws take precedence.
The company’s decision follows last week’s updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggesting that Americans can ditch their face coverings in most circumstances, so long as they are considered fully vaccinated.
Since then, Walmart also announced that shoppers who received the shot could enter the store without a mask, and the company is offering a $75 bonus to employees who get the inoculation.
