Pro-Palestinian protests occurred outside the New York Stock Exchange but did not disrupt trading. Activists from a group called Jewish Voice for Peace protested, chaining themselves to security barricades. This protest was a response to the ongoing violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has been intense since recent military actions began. The exchange increased security measures due to the protests, but overall trading operations were unaffected.
